Welcome speech
of the chief coordinator of the Congress on Pediatric Surgery Kirill Marakhouski, the head of diagnostics department at the Children’s Surgery Natioanl Applied Research Hospital:
“There is no secret, that endoscopy is a high-tech, progressively developing speciality. Perhaps, there is no other medical discipline that has so revolutionary changed for the last 20 years. Fundamentally, new areas both diagnostic and interventional has aresen within the speciality.
We all work in a specific part of endoscopy – a pediatric one. Is it right to single it out? Is there ane special pathology, peculiar only to children? Sure there is! There are special requirements to equipment, used in children and there is a group of pathologies, which could be found only in children. Special performing conditions for a safe endoscopic intervention also differ.
Working with children you understand that you must be ready to face any, even the rarests diasease. For some of these diseases there is no more than a dozen of cases and publications. I believe that professional development is only possible with sharing experiences.
We are glad to invite all collegues working in the field of pediatric endoscopy and those who are interested in this speciality to the 3-days Congress on Pediatric Endoscopy – 2019, which will take place in Minsk, Belarus. Both beginners and experienced endoscopists are welcome. We want to share our experience with you and ask you to share yours.
World-class specialists are invited to the Congress as keynote speakers.
We look forward to seeing you in Minsk!”
