Colorectal Surgery

What Is Colorectal Surgery?

Colorectal surgery is performed to repair or remove a damaged or diseased section of the lower intestine. It may be needed for cancer, infections, injuries, malformations, or other conditions affecting the colon or rectum.

There are different surgical techniques, and your doctor will recommend the best option based on your health and condition.

Types of Colorectal Surgery

Laparoscopic Surgery

The most common method, using small incisions, a camera, and precise instruments. It takes longer than open surgery but results in faster recovery and fewer complications.

Robotic Surgery

Similar to laparoscopic surgery but offers more precision and control for the surgeon. It also promotes better healing and fewer post-surgery issues.

Open Surgery

Used for complex cases where minimally invasive options won’t work. It requires a larger incision and a longer recovery time but is necessary when more extensive repairs are needed.
