Colorectal surgery encompasses a range of procedures aimed at addressing issues in the lower gastrointestinal tract, including the bowel, colon, rectum, and anus. It may be necessary to undergo such surgery to treat conditions such as Crohn’s disease or to seek a cure for colon cancer or rectal cancer.

These surgeries are performed to repair or remove a damaged or diseased section of the lower intestinal tract, which may be the result of cancer, malformation, another disease, injury, or infection. Different surgical techniques are available, and your surgeon will assess your medical condition and overall health to determine the best approach for your situation.
