Colorectal Surgery

What Is Colorectal Surgery?

Colorectal surgery treats problems of the intestines. Your intestines help your body absorb nutrients from food and process waste.

When you have a colorectal condition, it can affect your ability to use the bathroom. Your symptoms may make it difficult or uncomfortable to complete routine tasks and activities. Surgery can help you feel better.

We perform minimally invasive and complex revisional surgeries of the lowest part of the digestive tract. Our team treats both cancerous and noncancerous conditions of the:

• Bowel, the small tubing that connects the stomach to the colon and absorbs nutrients
• Colon, the large tube between the bowel and rectum that stores, processes and removes waste from the body
• Rectum, the pocket at the end of the colon that temporarily holds waste until it's time to empty
• Anus, the sphincter (muscle that opens and closes) at the end of the rectum that allows waste to pass out of the body
