Colorectal surgery covers the large bowel, rectum and anus. Many of these problems are common and easily treated, but their symptoms overlap with those of bowel cancer, which is why assessment matters rather than waiting.
Conditions we treat
- Piles (haemorrhoids)
- Anal fissure and fistula
- Perianal abscess
- Bowel polyps
- Colon and rectal cancer
- Inflammatory bowel disease needing surgery
- Long-standing constipation and obstructed defaecation
- Rectal prolapse
Please do not delay if you have
Bleeding from the back passage, a change in bowel habit lasting more than a few weeks, unexplained weight loss, or persistent abdominal pain. These are usually caused by something benign — but they are exactly the symptoms that need checking.
