GASTRO 2009 Working Parties

The Working Party concept has been one of the real success stories of previous World Congresses and has resulted in the publication of important documents such as the “Sydney Classification” and “LAGrading System.” For almost 2 years, the GASTRO 2009 Working Parties worked on key global issues in gastroenterology. All of the topics were reviewed and approved by the GASTRO 2009 Scientific Program Committee and the results were presented at GASTRO 2009 UEGW/WCOG in London in November 2009. Please find below the GASTRO 2009 Working Party Executive Summaries.
