Video Summary

The session provided an interactive opportunity to ask questions and discuss various topics with the faculty. Key discussions included Dr. Lee's procedures on altered anatomy, with emphasis on EUS gastroenterostomy, and the utility of an overtube device for better maneuverability in colonoscopies. The dialogue addressed the policy and challenges surrounding hospital VAC committees, including how new products are trialed and adopted. Another aspect was the implementation of preference cards, aiming for efficiency and cost management by standardizing equipment used for procedures across practitioners.
