Colon/Rectal Surgery
Surgeons specializing in colon/rectal surgeries evaluate and treat patients with lower intestinal tract abnormalities (large bowel, rectum and anus), colorectal cancer, or other ailments such as hemorrhoids.
At one time, these procedures were all performed by open surgery; however, now most are done using laparoscopy. This minimally-invasive technique offers smaller incisions, fewer complications and a faster recovery time.
