Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to extend an invitation for you to join the Colorectal Surgery Fellowship Program at Koç University School of Medicine (KUSOM), Istanbul, Turkey, for a period of one month. This program, conducted under the auspices of the International Society of University Colon and Rectum Surgeons (ISUCRS), is designed to provide advanced training and experience in colorectal surgery under the guidance of our highly skilled and experienced surgical team.

KUSOM, Colorectal Surgery Unit is a leading center in Turkey, renowned for its expertise and innovative approaches to colorectal surgery. Our unit performs approximately 90% of colorectal surgeries using minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic surgeries.

As a fellow in our program, you will have the opportunity to engage in the surgical treatment of a variety of conditions, including:

Colorectal cancer
Inflammatory bowel disease
Pelvic floor dysfunction
Proctologic disorders

Throughout the fellowship, you will participate in preoperative evaluations, surgical procedures, and postoperative care, gaining valuable experience and knowledge in the latest techniques and technologies in colorectal surgery. Also, colorectal fellows may benefit RMK AIMES, a surgical simulation and education center at Koç University Hospital, to practice complex colorectal procedures in a realistic, risk-free environment using high-fidelity simulators. (for more information, please visit https://medicine.ku.edu.tr/en/education/rmk-aimes/) To ensure your stay is comfortable and focused on your training, we are pleased to inform you that your accommodation and meals will be provided by KUSOM. This will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the fellowship without any concerns regarding your living arrangements.

We are confident that this fellowship, conducted in collaboration with ISUCRS, will be an enriching and rewarding experience, providing you with the skills and expertise needed to excel in your career. We look forward to welcoming you to our team and supporting your professional growth.

We look forward to your positive response and to the opportunity of working with you.
