Colorectal Surgery Techniques

Colorectal surgery involves procedures to treat conditions affecting the colon, rectum, and anus. Common techniques include open surgery, where a larger incision is made, and minimally invasive surgery, such as laparoscopic surgery, which uses small incisions and special instruments. Surgeons may remove tumors, repair damaged tissue, or correct issues like blockages. These surgeries can help alleviate symptoms, improve function, and prevent serious complications. Recovery varies but often includes a hospital stay and follow-up care to ensure healing and monitor for any complications. Overall, these techniques aim to restore health and quality of life.
