Colorectal surgery is a specialised surgical treatment used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the colon (large intestine), rectum, and anus. These parts of the digestive system play a vital role in absorbing water, forming stool, and removing waste from the body. When medical treatments are not enough, colorectal surgery may be recommended to relieve symptoms, treat disease, and improve quality of life.
Colorectal surgery refers to surgical procedures performed on the large intestine, rectum, or anal canal. It is used to treat both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) conditions.
