Welcome to Coloproctology 2015, and to the historic state of Malacca!

The Organising Committee has worked hard to come up with a very interesting programme. From the outset, we wanted a programme which would cover common conditions and situations faced by general and colorectal surgeons when managing patients with colorectal conditions.

The programme this year will include topics on how to manage complications which may occur following colorectal surgery, managing functional colorectal problems such as rectal prolapse and incontinence, managing obstetric and non-obstetric perineal and anal sphincter injury. In addition, there will be updates on the current status of the National Colorectal Cancer Registry and Colorectal Cancer Screening in Malaysia. Coloproctology 2015 will also address important ethical and medico-legal issues in colorectal surgery.

We hope all of you will find Coloproctology 2015 to be interesting, beneficial and relevant to your clinical practice.
