Coloproctology Colorectal Surgery
Coloproctology deals with the investigation, diagnosis and treatment of all aspects of colorectal conditions. These include problems you might have with your colon, bowel, rectum and appendix.
“Laparoscopy is also probably more cost effective compared to open surgery because the higher cost of using special equipment in the operating room is offset by the patient’s faster recovery,” – “The same is true of robotic surgery. The benefits of minimally invasive surgery are real.”
Key Benefits
Colonoscopy and other screening tests can detect colorectal cancer — the third most common cancer in the United States — at earlier stages than ever before, meaning more of these tumors can be removed using minimally invasive surgery.
Minimally invasive approaches differ from traditional open surgery in that they require only a few tiny incisions instead of one long one; for colon and rectal cancer patients, the options include laparoscopy and robotic surgery. Both techniques allow surgeons to remove tumors using a camera and surgical instruments inserted into keyhole-size incisions. Robotic surgery offers a three-dimensional view of organs and is believed to be more precise in experienced hands.
