Thessaloniki, Greece
Dear Colleagues,
It is a great honor and pleasure to welcome you to the 11th Biennial Congress of the Mediterranean Society of Coloproctology, which is being organized in collaboration with the Greek-German Society of Surgery.
The role of the MSCP over the last years has been to create a network of specialists across the Mediterranean basin in order to share knowledge and promote excellence in all aspects of lower gastrointestinal surgery. Despite last decade’s focus on malignant disease and oncology, the field of benign coloproctology has seen a steady increase and a new array of treatment options have emerged. Our society comprises experts in various fields of benign and malignant disease from all Mediterranean countries.
We created a very stimulating scientific program ranging from the latest in proctology and functional disorders of the anorectum to state-of-the-art laparoscopic and robotic approaches to colorectal cancer. We will provide a forum for interdisciplinary discussion as well as the sharing of ideas on recent developments in the field. Our aim is to promote debates between junior surgeons and international experts, as well as discussions between various medical and nursing specialties.
The congress venue, the Interbalkan Medical Centre, is a state-of-the-art hospital in Thessaloniki, capable of treating the whole spectrum of diseases with the most modern equipment, including laparoscopic and robotic surgery.
The aim of this congress is to educate and promote specialist knowledge in order to improve the outcome of affected patients. We hope that we will provide a rewarding and fulfilling experience for all delegates.
M. Pramateftakis
Congress President
