While colon cancer often gets the spotlight, the lower digestive tract can be affected by a wide range of conditions—from polyps to diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, and more. At Angelina Surgical Associates, our board-certified surgeons specialize in colon and rectal surgery, offering advanced minimally invasive techniques to reduce pain, scarring, and recovery time.
Colon and rectal (colorectal) surgery includes procedures involving the colon, rectum, and anus. These surgeries are performed to treat a variety of conditions such as colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, and other disorders of the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Formerly referred to as “proctology,” the modern term is colorectal surgery, and it encompasses a broad set of diagnostic and surgical techniques — many of which can now be performed using minimally invasive or robotic-assisted approaches.
