Welcome Message

Dear colleagues,

in all disciplines,

In cooperation with the University of Geneva,

it is our pleasure to invite you to the

14th congress of OESO / OESO Foundation.

This event will illustrate the continuation of OESO’s

relentless pursuit, carried on since its founding,

to achieve benchmark syntheses in Esophagology.

The original OESO format of Questions/Answers in 5 minutes

will be applied in most of the 46 sessions, which will

deal with the 19 disciplines represented in OESO.

You will have the opportunity to make your choice

among sessions that will go deeply into precise topics

in a variety of domains, as well as purely clinical sessions

with debates on such subjects as alternative therapies for GERD,

surgical innovations, classification of cancers, etc…,

all targeted on your everyday practice.

Several sessions will be left to the initiative of young investigators,

and a number of Training Courses will be available in the program,

pertaining to Endoscopic Surgery, Laparoscopic Surgery, or Robotics,

with Simulation devices of the latest generation at your disposal

in the brand new Learning Center of the University of Geneva, as well

as in the University Hospital. They will be organized for beginners

and for experts.

Posters and oral presentations, related to any topic

on the upper digestive tract will be welcome.

The Conference is constructed in order to maximize the contact

between Industry and faculty and attendees.

                                                *

The aim is to present, in a true trans-disciplinary way,

the study of one organ, the esophagus, in all its aspects,

from its physiological functions to  diverse possible

pathological evolutions.

Throughout four intense days, you will have golden opportunities

to meet world renowned specialists from all fields,

to extend your knowledge, and to benefit from daily hands-on sessions

on a vast range of specializations.

The 14th OESO Conference in Geneva promises to be enriching,

and one of a kind.

See you there in Geneva!
