Following on from HIPEC month, ESCP will be focusing on Intestinal Failure throughout December. We have a fantastic schedule of expert contributions lined up throughout the month including interviews, videos, paper reviews and, a first for ESCP, a live Tweet chat!
It was a great honour for me to be selected as the Japanese Society of Coloproctology (JSCP) travelling fellow for the ESCP meeting in 2016. I would like to express my gratitude to the ESCP for the privilege of being granted a three-week fellowship. All my meetings with great European surgeons during this fellowship were fascinating and important experiences for my surgical career.
I was very fortunate and honoured to be selected as the first ESCP exchange fellow with the Korean Society of Coloproctology. I applied for this fellowship as this allowed me to attend a large Asian colorectal meeting, observe surgical techniques less applied in Europe, like complete mesocolic excision with (D3) central vascular ligation, and to get to know a different health care system, working environment and (professional) culture.
We are excited to announce that ESCP will be running its third cohort study in February - May 2017.
This study will collect data on patients undergoing left sided anastomoses, completing the ESCP’s series of studies about colonic anastomoses.
