The Organising Committee warmly welcomes all delegates to Coloproctology
2014!

The topics in the scientific programme for Coloproctology 2014 have been
carefully selected to include common colorectal problems encountered
by colorectal and general surgeons in daily practice. A whole spectrum
of colorectal diseases – from perianal disorders, colorectal emergencies,
colorectal cancers to inflammatory bowel disease – has been covered.
All these will be deliberated in plenaries, symposia, panel discussions and
“How I Do It” session.

The Allied Health Professional programme has also been structured to address the important areas relevant to the nursing, enterostomal and supportive care of patients with colorectal diseases.

As usual, there will be a pre-congress workshop where eminent overseas and local surgeons will demonstrate interesting operations live. Furthermore, there will a post-congress workshop on inflammatory bowel disease to be held in collaboration with the Malaysian Society of Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

For postgraduate trainees, there will be the annual postgraduate rounds which many postgraduate as well as undergraduate doctors have found to be very useful in the past.

A special feature in the programme is that, for the first time, the Malaysian Society of Colorectal Surgeons is concurrently running a symposium jointly with the Colorectal Cancer Survivorship Society of Malaysia. The idea for this symposium was first mooted by Dato’ Dr Meheshinder Singh. The objective of this symposium is for the Malaysian Society of Colorectal Surgeons to work with the Colorectal Cancer Survivorship Society of Malaysia to address healthcare and other relevant issues pertinent to survivors of colorectal cancer.

Last but not least, we hope you will have time to experience the culture, food, interesting places and hospitality that the city of Kuala Lumpur has to offer!
