Annual SSCRS Forum 2024

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the The Saudi Society of Colon & Rectal Surgery (SSCRS), it gives me a great pleasure to welcome you all to our Annual Saudi-International Colorectal Diseases Forum at the InterContinental Hotel on 3-5 March 2024.

For the very first time, the forum will host The 3rd ESCP Beyond Europe Masterclass in collaboration with our colleagues from The European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) to discuss the current challenges in the management of colorectal cancer and exchange experience among colorectal surgeons in both our societies.

 

Also, the forum will host The First GGC Colorectal meeting on 5 March 2024 to discuss current challenges and future opportunities among Colorectal surgeons in the GCC region.

 

The scientific program will cover various colorectal topics including colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, pelvic floor disorders and other benign diseases as well as highlight on new techniques in dealing with challenging colorectal cases.

 

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to all our speakers for accepting our invitation, and a special thanks to all our sponsors for their valuable support.

We are looking forward for your participation and hoping you will find the forum program both engaging and beneficial to your clinical practice.

Sincerely,

Prof. Samar Alhomoud

Chairperson, Organizing Committee

President, Saudi Society of Colon & Rectal Surgery
