IFSO-EC Abstract Prize

An IFSO-EC Abstract Prize Session was held as part of our congress for the first time. The Scientific Committee selected the best abstracts and the authors were asked to present their work to an Expert Panel which scored each presentation. This jury was composed of members of the IFSO-EC Scientific Committee and of the IFSO-EC Executive Council. The jury voted Dr Meritxell Garay Solà from Spain Best Author. We congratulate her on her paper, entitled “Antrum preservation seems to accelerate gastric emptying after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy without having effects on weight loss.”
