Highlights of United European Gastroenterology Week 2006

The United European Gastroenterology Week (UEGW) of 2006 offered an interesting variety of topics, and included many randomized studies that had not been previously presented at major meetings. Papers presented at plenary sessions will be given some priority in the following paper, whereas the selection of topics from abstracts, on the basis of poster presentations, has been more limited, necessarily reflecting to some extent the personal taste of the reviewer.
