Colorectal Surgery

What is Colorectal Surgery?

Colorectal surgery involves treating conditions affecting the colon, rectum, and anus, including cancers, polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, and other complex disorders.

Signs and Symptoms

Warning signs may include persistent abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, unexplained weight loss, and long-standing constipation or diarrhea.

When is Surgery Needed?

Surgery is advised when medications or non-surgical treatments are not effective. It may involve removing diseased sections or correcting structural abnormalities.

Benefits of Surgery

Surgical treatment helps relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and improve overall digestive health. In cancer cases, it also aids in long-term survival outcomes.

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients may need a short hospital stay and gradual return to activities. Dietary changes, exercise, and follow-ups support safe and complete recovery.
