Introduction

A human approach
to technical medicine.

A gastroenterologist at the Centre Hospitalier Emile Mayrisch in Esch-sur-Alzette, Dr. Sitte has built there one of the country's first advanced therapeutic interventional endoscopy services.

The first practitioner to introduce endoscopic gastroplasty (ESG) in the Grand Duchy, he trained alongside Europe's pioneering teams and works closely with Boston Scientific under an exclusive technical partnership to develop this procedure in Luxembourg.

His approach: advanced technical medicine, but patient-centred — availability, listening, individualised support over time.
