Baptist Medical Group Colon and Rectal Surgery
Colon and rectal, or colorectal, surgery includes a broad range of procedures that help diagnose and treat diseases of the lower digestive tract, which includes the small intestine, colon, rectum, bladder, bowel and anus. When medically advisable, many of our surgical procedures are minimally invasive and, in most cases, reduce the need for a post-surgery ostomy.
What do colorectal surgeons do?
Our board-certified colorectal surgeons are highly skilled, experienced physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions of the lower digestive tract. They are trained in the most advanced surgical techniques and equipment, including laparoscopic and robotic surgical systems. Our surgeons work closely with your physician, specialist or oncologist to provide comprehensive care and prioritize minimally invasive procedures that help reduce post-operative pain and scarring while speeding up the recovery process.
