The Interventional IBD Symposium, Webinar Recording

January 14, 2023 - February 23, 2023 · Virtual

12:50 PM - 11:33 AM (ET)

Program Overview

This webinar was recorded on January 14-15, 2022

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) consist of two primary phenotypes, Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Despite advances in medical treatment in IBD, disease-associated or IBD surgery-associated complications (such as strictures and fistulas) are common. Interventional IBD or therapeutic endoscopy has an expanding role in the treatment of disease and surgical complications. Endoscopic therapy offers more effective than medical treatment and less invasive than surgery, for the management of IBD-associated structural complications. Endoscopic therapy has been explored and used in the management of strictures, fistulas/abscesses, colitis-associated neoplasia, and post-surgical acute or chronic leaks, and obstructions. The endoscopic therapeutic modalities include balloon dilation, stricturotomy, stricturoplasty, stent placement, fistulotomy, fistula injection and clipping, sinusotomy, endoscopic mucosal resection, and endoscopic submucosal dissection. With a better understanding of the disease course of IBD, improved long-term impact of medical therapy, and advances in endoscopic technology, we can foresee interventional IBD will become an integrated part of the multidisciplinary approach for patients with complex IBD. This is a joint venture of Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NewYork Presbyterian Hospital, and the Global Interventional IBD Group. This CME-accreted conference will use “the Columbia Interventional IBD Symposium” as a logo from now on. It will run a full-day Zoom-based conference on January 14-15, 2022.
