Dear members, dear visitors,

welcome to the renewed website of the Mediterranean Society of Coloproctology!

MSCP was born almost 20 years ago with the aim to gather the physicians of the Mediterranean area with special interests in coloproctology: after two decades this goal is still far away due to different reasons that include geographical difficulties, political troubles, different languages and level of development among the different countries. However, during all this period, the society has continuously represented a bridge of scientific cooperation and exchange of knowledges among the shores of the three continents that lie around the Mediterranean sea.

The 11th Biennial Congress of the MSCP found place in Thessaloniki (Greece)  from 4 to 5 May 2018.

     The very comfortable location of the Interbalkan Medical Centre in Thessaloniki (Greece) hosted the 11th Biennial Congress of the Mediterranean Society of Coloproctology, which is being organized in cooperation with the Greek-German Society of Surgery.

Dear Members of the Mediterranean Society of Coloproctology (MSCP),
Nowadays, the need for colorectal surgery as a subspecialty has increased tremendously.

It has been about 20 years since Prof. Herand Abcarian [1] expressed the need to recognize coloproctology as a separate specialty uniformly worldwide.

In the USA colorectal surgeons founded the American Proctology Society in 1889 and the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery was charted to certify the future specialists in this field over 70 years ago.
