Preview

Assessing the quality of the endoscopic abstracts accepted at the United European Gastroenterology Week (UEGW) meeting is always necessarily subjective and may reflect the progress of endoscopic research as well as peculiarities of the selection committees. Nevertheless, the author’s subjective impression for 2005 was that less original work primarily sent to UEGW was available. In fact, many large studies recently presented were not seen at UEGW - e. g. papers on double-balloon endoscopy and reports on some new colonoscopes. Instead, a few new techniques were sometimes reported without clear-cut results, although the authors told us how happy they were. Let’s hope this will change in the years to come.
