| Educational Content | The Department of Colorectal Surgery at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital performs more than 500 colorectal cancer surgeries annually, and performs those using minimally invasive techniques in most colorectal cancer patients. Professor Yoon Suk Lee, who is in charge of education, is an authority in this field and has performed thousands of laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgeries for about 20 years. In addition, rectal cancer surgery including ISR has been performed using the da Vinci robot as well as the conventional laparoscopic surgery since several years ago, and recently, LAR and ISR using the SP robot is being actively performed. We are very excited about the expectation that we will help many surgeons who are interested in this. As a pre-congress of KSERS 2023, we would like to provide an opportunity to experience high-quality colorectal cancer surgery using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopy, multiport davinci robot, and SP robot). |
