Colorectal Surgery

Colorectal Surgery

Colorectal surgeons specialize in the diagnosis and surgical management of diseases affecting the colon, rectum, and anus. Their expertise covers a broad range of conditions, including colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), diverticular disease, anorectal disorders, and benign polyps.

These specialists perform procedures such as colectomy, low anterior resection, abdominoperineal resection, and minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgeries. They also manage complex anorectal conditions like fistulas, fissures, and hemorrhoids.

Colorectal surgeons are involved in preoperative investigations including colonoscopy and imaging studies, perioperative patient optimization, and postoperative care with a focus on bowel function, continence, and recovery. They work closely with oncologists, gastroenterologists, and stoma care nurses to provide holistic, patient-centered care for both benign and malignant colorectal conditions.
