Procedures we offer
Hemorrhoidectomy and Hemorrhoid Banding for Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus that can cause pain, itching and bleeding. While some hemorrhoids improve with lifestyle changes or medication, others may require surgery.
A hemorrhoidectomy removes troublesome hemorrhoids and can provide lasting relief when other treatments have not worked. Hemorrhoid Banding is a less painful way to treat internal hemorrhoids.
Surgery for Anal Fissures and Fistulas
Anal fissures are small tears in the lining of the anus that can cause significant pain during bowel movements. Fistulas are abnormal tunnels that develop between the anus and nearby tissue.
Surgery and other non-surgical treatments can repair these conditions, relieve discomfort and help prevent recurring infections or complications.
Surgery for Diverticulitis
Diverticulitis occurs when small pouches in the colon become inflamed or infected. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, fever, nausea and changes in bowel habits.
If diverticulitis continues to return or becomes severe, surgery may be recommended to remove the affected portion of the colon and help prevent future problems.
Colectomy for Colon Cancer
A colectomy is a surgical procedure that removes part of the colon affected by cancer.
Our experienced surgical team uses advanced techniques whenever appropriate to remove cancer, protect healthy tissue and support recovery. Surgery is often an important part of a comprehensive colon cancer treatment plan.
Don't wait to get answers
Many people live with symptoms longer than they should because they feel embarrassed or hope the problem will go away on its own. Some conditions can worsen over time if left untreated.
