Advanced Course in Proctological Surgery

Full immersion in proctological surgery

In the colorectal field, and especially in proctological surgery, no-scar surgery through natural orifices has found the perfect match between safety, efficacy, and patient benefits, and more particularly so in rectal cancer treatment.

From 2022 onwards, IRCAD will offer further opportunities providing the first ever university diploma in minimally invasive colorectal surgery.
