In this episode, host Eglė is joined by Manmeet Matharoo (St Mark’s Hospital, London) to reflect on the highlights of UEG Week 2025 in Berlin from an endoscopy perspective. Together, they discuss the shift towards precision endoscopy, smarter patient and lesion selection, and the philosophy of “treat the patient, not the polyp.” The conversation explores how concepts such as cold-snare resection, training quality assurance, and green endoscopy are shaping modern practice. They also touch on leadership, mentorship, and the medical community’s role in tackling misinformation online — a thoughtful look at how endoscopy is evolving towards safer, more personalised care.
