Our colorectal surgeons are able to treat various conditions that affect the lower digestive tract, namely the colon, rectum and anus. Some of the conditions affecting these parts of the body are diagnosed through colonoscopy, where a fibre optic camera is inserted into the colon through the anus. While colon cancer is the most common form of cancer affecting the lower digestive tract, rectal and anal cancer exists as well.
Treatment for these types of cancer may involve surgery and other forms of cancer therapy. Milder forms of colorectal conditions such as haemorrhoids, anal fissures and even constipation sometimes require surgery.
While these conditions may go away on their own or be cured through different means, our colorectal surgeons are ready to deal with certain cases which require surgery. Treatments may vary from taking medication, laxatives, suppositories or enema. One of the most common surgical procedures in this field is appendectomy, which is the removal of the appendix. Other surgical procedures may also be required depending on the condition.
