Colorectal Surgery
Colon, rectum and anus.
With the aid of the colonoscopy, pathology of the colon, rectum and anus can be diagnosed accurately. Polyps (small growths within the colon) can be removed at the same time and sent for laboratory evaluation to assess
if cancerous or not. Other interventional procedures may be done such
as:
- Colonic stent placement for cancer or large bowel obstruction
- ESD (endoscopic submucosal dissection).
- EMR (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection).
All our colorectal procedures are done Laparoscopically these include:
- Segmental colon resection for colon cancer or certain benign conditions.
- Low anterior resection for rectal cancer.
- Abdomino-perineal (AP) resections for anal cancer.
- Trans-anal total mesorectal excision (TATME) for rectal cancers.
- Rectopexy for rectal prolapsed.
- Acute and chronic peri-anal pathologies are also actively managed.
