He has joined many famous international endoscopy meetings worldwide as lecturers, demonstrators, and trainers. He has trained many young Thai and international doctors to be endosongraphers and endoscopists. His present active research include EUS-guided biliary drainage in malignant hilar biliary obstruction, EUS-guided radiofrequency ablation, EUS-guided needle based confocal laser endomicroscopy. In this conference, he will join and share his experience of novel cutting edge EUS technologies with audience.Combination of endoscopic-ultrasound guided choledochoduodenostomy and gastrojejunostomy resolving combined distal biliary and duodenal obstructionEndoscopy 2020 Nov 19  doi: 10.1055/a-1294-9399PatientA 68-year-old man presented with abdominal pain, jaundice, and weight loss for 1 month. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a periampullary mass measuring 3.5 × 3.5 × 3.2 cm with dilated bile ductProcedureAn endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure was not possible owing to a large friable ampullary mass causing supra-ampullary duodenal obstruction. An endoscopic ultrasound-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS) was consequently performed with a linear echoendoscope (GF-UCT180; Olympus, Aizu, Japan). A dilated distal common bile duct (CBD) from an ampullary was shown. A 19-gauge endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) needle with an angled 0.025-inch guidewire was used for puncturing. A 6-Fr cystotome and a 4-mm balloon dilatation catheter (were used for dilation. An 8 × 12-mm lumenapposing metal stent (LAMS) (Niti-S Spaxus; Taewoong Medical Co., Ilsan, Korea) was successfully placed transduodenally into the distal CBD (▶Fig. 4). Subsequently, an EUS-guided gastrojejunostomy was performed. A 10-Fr nasobiliary catheter was placed into the jejunum to flush a mix of diluted contrast, saline, and methylene blue into the lumen of the jejunum in order to distend the small bowel loop. A 16 × 20-mm LAMS with an electrocautery delivery system (Niti-S Spaxus; Taewoong Medical Co.) was successfully placed transgastrically into the lumen of the jejunum (▶Fig. 5). The patient resumed diet with a decline of bilirubin level at 48 hours after the procedure without adverse events.Please visit to website of Thieme to get the full text of this case report.

Digestive Disease Week 2019The Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2019 annual meeting took place in San Diego, the beautiful city with a pacific shore of the US west coast was the host for the 50th anniversary of the DDW. Taewoong Medical participated in the meeting for the 13th consecutive time and held one of the major booths.Since ELRA™ received FDA approvals recently, all RFA product lines became available in the US market. Both EUSRA™, the needle type EUS-RFA probe for pancreatic tumors, and ELRA™, the bipolar endo-biliary RFA probe for hilar and the common bile duct received extensive attention from the attendees. In addition, new abstracts regarding ELRA™ and EUSRA™ results in various indications were also published. We appreciate for your visits and interests. We look forward to further feedbacks regarding our products.See you all next year!

 ESGE Days 2019 ESGE Days 2019, which was the second exhibition attended this year, started last year in Budapest. Building on the innovative ESGE Days programme developed for first congress, in Prague for ESGE Days 2019. The interactive, comprehensive programme will reflect differences in terms of delegate experience levels and will also be relevant to all members of the endoscopy team (nurses, residents, fellows, physicians).The number of doctors registered this year was 2,667, twice as many as last year. The greatest number of physicians came from Czech Republic, Spain, Germany, Italy, France, UK, Netherlands and Korea. ESGE Days predicted that the number of registration will increase every year. Following the UEGW, the ESGE Days is expected to become a society representing the gastrointestinal endoscopy society in Europe.We were able to feel that EUSRA™ was increasingly interested in the EUS therapeutic pancreas sessions almost 50% of lectures are related with Taewoong Medical. In the future, Taewoong Medical will do our best to meet various physician who interested in our product on the international congress. Next year ESGE Days will be held on April 23-25 in Dublin, Ireland.
