The aim of the Expert Approach section is to contribute to the dissemination and standardization of new endoscopie procedures. Authors from three distinct geographic areas combine forces, sharing their experience to form a consensus of opinion. Readers' comments are welcome and will be published in the Mailbox which appears at the end of each Expert Approach article.Committee:Chairman: R. Lambert (Lyon)Specialists: R. Kozarek (Seattle), H. Inoue (Tokyo), P. Sakai (Sao Paulo), H. Neuhaus (Düsseldorf), C. Neumann (Birmingham)
