Professor's Biography
How was proctology introduced by Dr Copé ?
First created during the 1930s with Raoul Bensaude and Andre Quin, it was in the 1950-1060s, with Jean Arnous and Ernest Parnaud in France and Goligher and Parks abroad that this specialty gradually flourished and acquired its own identity.
Professor Roland Copé contributed, in his capacity as clinical expert, to the arrival on the market of many topical and systemic medicinal products and undertook extensive medical and surgical research alongside the pharmaceutical industry.
No formal training was then available.Very few publications existed worldwide.
But the need arose to involve the entire medical profession.
With the active encouragement of Professor Roland COPÉ, ideas began to circulate :
Professor
Roland Copé
wrote educational textbooks distributed throughout the world in 5
languages. Professor
Copé began to interest the press by articles which were initially
published shyly and parsimoniously. They are now viewed by the press
as subjects of everyday interest. At
the same time, Professor Roland Copé published educational textbooks
translated into 5 languages, an audiovisual educational programme,
and for the first time in France and above all starting in 1984, a
Proctology Training Course under the aegis of the College de Médecine
des Hôpitaux de Paris / Medical College of the Paris Hospitals
Group, destined for the entire medical profession. At
the same time, Professor Roland Copé
organised unit meetings and postgraduate training seminars in France. The
medical profession is now involved. It has given its support to many
public disease detection campaigns, in particular in oncology and
sexually transmitted diseases (H.I.V.).
The general public is aware. Work
continues by means of the cooperation of one and all.
Proctology still has secrets to divulge. It
is of interest, in 1996, to evaluate advances in the main areas of
proctology, from both a diagnostic and therapeutic standpoint. Endoscopy
- and more recently video-endoscopy - have led to major advances :
accurate clinical and histological diagnosis and non-invasive
resection via the anus of many tumour lesions which previously
required abdominal surgery, and above all the detection of many
lesions in their initial stages. While
anorectal involvement in certain sexually transmitted diseases is
regressing (gonorrhoea, syphilis), herpes, chlamydia proctitis and
above all papillomatosis are seen more and more frequently. HIV
has also modified clinical aspects and the course of disorders, and
is a notable aggravating factor in sexually transmitted diseases.
