Trained in Several Colorectal Surgeries
Every patient is different and requires a unique approach to treatment. After you consult with us, we’ll walk you through your colorectal surgery options. Depending on your circumstances, we may recommend one of these procedures:
During this procedure, your surgeon will remove the diseased part of the colon and reattach the healthy ends. This surgery is recommended for cancer, bowel obstructions, and diverticulitis.
Patients with rectal prolapse can be greatly benefitted by a rectopexy to correct the condition.
A colostomy involves removing all or part of the colon or rectum. This procedure is often suggested for cancer patients.
