Colonoscopy Webinar 3: Non-Polyp pathology: diagnosis and Management Colonic Strictures: To stent or not to stent?

We are delighted to share the recording of the Colonoscopy webinar held on 6 November 2023. We were fortunate enough to hear from Keith Siau, Associate Professor in Gastroenterology at Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust who delivered a compelling presentation on the diagnosis and management of Non-Polyp pathology and Nicola Fearnhead, representing the CReST2 trial management group, provided valuable insights into their work and delivered an enlightening presentation on Colonic Strictures, particularly with reference to the CREST studies. As CREST 2 is not yet published, we are unable to share this information, but will make it widely available as soon as possible, as it is very informative. We are confident that the recording of these presentations will prove to be an invaluable resource in your ongoing professional development. Thank you to Katie Cross and to the Colonoscopy sub-committee for all their support.
