 It is my pleasure to welcome you to Coloproctology 2017, and to the island city of Penang - popularly known as The Pearl of the Orient.
The Organising Committee has put in great efforts to plan an interesting programme for the benefit of everyone. Common day-to-day colorectal surgical conditions as well as specialised areas in colorectal surgery and advances in colorectal surgery will be covered in this two-day conference.
Along with the renowned Malaysian faculty, regionally well-known colorectal surgeons have been invited to share their knowledge and expertise during this meeting.
As a departure from the norm, a dry pelvic workshop will replace the usual pre-congress live workshop. This workshop will undoubtedly expose us to the horizons of the human pelvis that is usually difficult to understand.
The scientific programme, I am certain, will benefit colorectal surgeons, general surgeons, fellows pursuing training in colorectal surgery as well as general surgical trainees.
It us our sincere hope that Coloproctology 2017 will be interesting and beneficial to all participants. We look forward to seeing you in Penang.
