Colorectal surgeon

A colorectal surgeon operates on patients suffering from diseases or disorders of the anus, rectum and colon. This is a complicated specialism which requires the surgeon to have undergone additional training in order to cope with the demands of this area.

They also perform a range of endoscopic (keyhole surgery) procedures as an aid to diagnosis. These include sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy.

Examples of colorectal surgery include:

  • Colorectal cancer
  • Rectal prolapse
  • Removal of haemorrhoids
  • Removal of section of the small intestine (Crohn’s disease)
  • Hernia removal
  • Repair anal fissures

Many colorectal surgeons focus on a particular area, for example, rectal cancer. They devote many years of research to this area and develop innovative surgical techniques which they use to treat this form of cancer with the aim of improved quality of life for their patients.
