Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a proctologist and a colorectal surgeon?
Proctologists focus on non-surgical and minor surgical treatments of colorectal conditions. Colorectal surgeons are trained to handle complex surgical cases requiring operative intervention.
Do you perform robotic-assisted surgery?
Yes, our surgeons are credentialed in da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery, which offers enhanced precision and faster recovery for appropriate candidates.
How long is recovery after colorectal surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure. Laparoscopic cases typically require 2-4 weeks, while open surgery may take 6-8 weeks. We provide detailed post-operative guidance.
Will I need a colostomy?
Most colorectal surgeries preserve normal bowel function. Colostomy is recommended only when necessary and is discussed thoroughly during your consultation.
