On behalf of the Organizing Committee, It is a great pleasure to invite you to join the International Colorectal Research Summit (ICRS) 2023 in Grand Walkerhill Seoul, Korea.

The Summit is being hosted by the Korean Society of Coloproctology, which was established in 1967 and has more than 2,500 lifetime members. Since 2014, the Summit has been held annually to serve as a hub for academic and social communication in the field of coloproctology.
