Learning the future of colorectal robotic surgery
Surgeons, consultants, anatomists and industry partners from across the globe working together to advance colorectal robotic surgery.
ColoRobotica
As part of the European School of Coloproctology (ESC) within the European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP), the Colorectal Robotic Surgery Working Group (CRS WG) was set up with the aim to benchmark training in robotic colorectal surgery and to optimize patients’ outcomes.

Training Pathway
Robotic-assisted surgery is growing in popularity worldwide for malignant and benign colorectal conditions. However, in Europe, scientific societies have yet to establish a standardised training approach that includes criteria for selecting surgeons and units, training components, and data for assessing and auditing outcomes.

Collaborations
ColoRobotica use a variety of different training activities during coloproctology education. These activities are supported by educational grants from our industry partners and other training organisations. ESC/ESCP is responsible for designing the objectives, educational content and delivery.
about us
ColoRobotica provides coloproctology education to surgeons at various stages of their professional development, from those beginning their colorectal robotic practice to seasoned surgeons. We strive to deliver evidence-based colorectal practices and up-to-date knowledge while placing a strong emphasis on enhancing surgeons’ skills to optimise patient outcomes.
