Welcome to the 10th Portsmouth Colorectal Congress

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Portsmouth Colorectal Team, it is my pleasure to invite you to attend the 10^th Portsmouth Colorectal Congress

We are excited to continue our mission in connecting the key experts to meet and discuss the role of robotic and minimally invasive approaches in colorectal surgery. The principles, applications, and controversies of TME, CME, and beyond will be discussed through state-of-the-art lectures from world-renowned experts and live operating from Portsmouth Theatres. Three robotic and laparoscopic cases will be shown every day with guest participation in live commenting. The congress will be preceded by a course on surgical navigation and followed by hands-on courses on robotic, laparoscopic, and advanced proctology.

We look forward to meeting you in Portsmouth.
Where Robotic Surgeons Meet!

Yours faithfully,

Prof Jim Khan
Convenor PCCX
