Colorectal Surgery is a type of surgery focused on treating conditions that affect the colon, rectum, and anus. This can include various types of cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and other conditions that affect the digestive system. The colon, also known as the large intestine, is a vital part of our digestive system. It is responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes, and storing and eliminating waste.
