Our colon and rectal surgeons are trained to provide the most sophisticated care for patients with a wide range of diseases and disorders of the small bowel, colon, rectum, and anus. These include colon, rectal, and anal cancer, diverticulitis, familial polyposis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, ileoanal reservoir (J-pouch), colon polyps, incontinence, prolapse, anorectal abscess, fistula, fissure, and hemorrhoids. Our physicians have expertise in the use of minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) and other minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of colorectal diseases, including cancer. They are skilled at performing sphincter-sparing surgery in the treatment of rectal cancer, which spares patients the inconvenience and emotional burden of a colostomy bag. They are also committed to performing colon cancer screening, and perform colonoscopy, among other diagnostic tests. For the management of fecal incontinence, treatment options include the new Secca procedure, artificial anal sphincter, and muscle transplant. Our colon and rectal surgery service is supported by our state-of-the-art Anorectal Physiology Laboratory. This service also directs our fully approved residency training program in colon and rectal surgery.
Our Surgery practice includes physicians with specialized training and a focus on the evaluation and treatment of malignant and benign colon and rectal disease. To find a doctor that treats patients with these conditions, please click Find a Doctor and choose the doctor that best fits your need.
