Last week I was invited to speak at the hashtag#congress of the Sociedade Brasileira de Coloproctologia (SBCP) . I presented a lecture on fat injection for complex perianal conditions, a technique that I think is important for our region, being simple, cheap, and useful for these type of conditions.
In addition to this, I had the honor of representing the Global Reach Committe of the European Society of hashtag#Coloproctology, speaking about the Latin-American collaborative study «LATAM-Urg.» This significant initiative has already enrolled nearly 1,000 patients from 100 hospitals across the region, highlighting the power of international collaboration in advancing surgical research.
Attending the congress was not only a great opportunity to learn from an incredible scientific program but also to engage with global leaders in our field such as Eloy Espin, Dion Morton, Paulo Kotze, Rodrigo Perez, Armando G Franchini Melani, Juan C. Patron Uriburu, Ramon Mendes, Sergio Araujo, and many others. Events like these provide the perfect setting for reconnecting with friends and brainstorming new ideas to further develop the hashtag#coloproctology specialty in Latin America.
