Dear Society of Colon & Rectal Surgeons, Taiwan (SCRST)
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you on behalf of the Turkish Society of Colon and Rectal Surgery (TKRCD), the only non-profit organization dedicated to the field of colorectal surgery in Turkey. Since its establishment in 1990, TKRCD has been steadfast in its mission to enhance healthcare services in colorectal surgery, organize educational and research activities, and contribute to the establishment of patient care standards and domestic policies.
Our official publication, the Turkish Journal of Colorectal Disease, is a peer-reviewed journal committed to publishing original research of the highest scientific and clinical value. The journal is indexed in various reputable databases, including TUBITAK/ULAKBIM, DOAJ, British Library, ProQuest, Root Indexing, IdealOnline, Gale, Index Copernicus, Turkish Citation Index, Hinari, GOALI, ARDI, OARE, JGate, and TurkMedline.
TKRCD also bears the responsibility of contributing to the global advancement of colorectal surgery. To this end, we regularly organize international symposia, congresses, webinars, and courses.
Our upcoming major events
International Autumn Symposium: Multidisciplinary Treatment of Rectal Cancer Consensus Meeting, to be held in Ankara from November 7-9, 2024
XX National III International Turkish Colon and Rectal Surgery Congress, scheduled for May 16-20, 2025, in Antalya
We are keen to explore collaboration opportunities with your esteemed organization for our upcoming events. In addition, we would be delighted to reciprocate by promoting your society's congresses, events, and courses within Turkey and through our collaborations with other societies. We believe that such mutual support will greatly benefit both our organizations and contribute to the advancement of the field globally.
We would greatly appreciate it if you could consider promoting these events on your website and informing your members.
