More than 1050 participants from 75 countries attended the 13th European Colorectal Congress, held from December 1st to 5th, 2019 in St. Gallen, Switzerland. The congress welcomed lectures discussing time-tested wisdom, updates in the management of complex situations, as well as innovative strategies and other contemporary topics. The dynamism of the field was underlined by over 100 posters submitted and presenting early stage research, clinical innovations, and reports of rare cases. The Congress and its Masterclass in Colorectal Surgery (#ECCStGallen) were granted 26 CME/CPD credits by the Swiss Society of Surgery, the nVnH/Dutch Colorectal Society and by the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland. Overall, 46 Expert lectures were given at another successful #ColorectalSurgeryWeek. The #ECCStGallen 2019 was further endorsed by the Swiss Association of Minimal Invasive Surgery (Swiss-MIS), the European Association of Endoscopic Surgery (EAES), and the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (ECCO). The full program of #ECCStGallen 2019 can be found on the congress website www.colorectalsurgery.eu. …
