Introduction by Michel Greff M.D., International Secretary of the French Society of Digestive Endoscopy (SFED)

Since 1998 the Franch Council of the Digestive Endoscopy Society has published standards for good practice in endoscopy. These recommendations appear to be the best way to arrive at the optimal practice in medicine at the moment. Written by a group of experts and corrected by an even larger expert group, they are regularly updated in a written form in order to help with decision making.
