The constant training of the physician is decisive in decision making in patients with Colorectal Surgery"

Colon cancer is the second most frequent neoplasm in both men and women, followed by lung and breast cancer, respectively, and with a mortality of diagnosed individuals close to 50%. Surgery is the only curative treatment currently available, the technique and procedure chosen depending on the location, degree of local invasion and/or existence of distant metastases. Adjuvant chemotherapy is administered with the aim of eradicating micrometastatic disease and thereby increasing disease-free survival and overall survival.

On the other hand, rectal surgery includes the treatment of rectal cancer and other pathologies such as rectal prolapse, rectocele or deep pelvic endometriosis. There are four goals in the treatment of rectal cancer: cure, local control of the disease, restoration of bowel continuity and preservation of urinary, sexual and anal sphincter function, the main treatment modality being surgical resection.

Modern surgery implies a constant need for recycling, but the speed at which changes and advances in techniques and procedures occur, and the amount of scientific documentation published every week on new treatments, make it almost impossible for a specialist to reconcile his updating with his daily clinical and surgical practice.

The purpose of this postgraduate diploma in Colorectal Surgery and the team of experts who have developed it, is to provide this update in a practical way, the latest surgical techniques, through the latest educational technology in the field of colorectal surgery.
