The main organizer of the conference is the Head of the Surgical Department of Hořovice Hospital Zuzana Šerclová, MD. "This is a unique opportunity to meet surgeons, gastroenterologists, nurses and workers from other disciplines who care for patients with IBD," says the doctor. "The programme is full of interesting topics, including new developments in the surgical and conservative treatment of non-specific inflammatory bowel disease, and is divided into practical and lecture parts. I would like to thank all the companies and the Hořovice Hospital that supported us and made the event possible. This year's conference was again a pleasant and beneficial experience for us, not only thanks to the opportunity to exchange experiences and joint discussions, but also thanks to the beautiful premises of the Zbiroh Castle, where the conference is held every year," he adds.
