About Us

The reasons for creating the Society

The European Foregut Society is the leading association in Europe concerning any upper abdominal diseases.


We want to fight foregut diseases

Traditional societies tend to focus on cancer and bariatrics to the extent that benign “functional” disease is largely marginalised. We want to be different.


A needed Pan- European Society

We want to combine the knowledge of all experts of europe to become the leading society for the upper abdomenal area.
