Gastrointestinal Surgery
Gastrointestinal surgery encompasses both colon and rectal surgery. We offer comprehensive, state-of-the-art care for patients with anorectal cancer, and a full range of gastrointestinal, abdominal, and colorectal conditions and diseases. Our colon and rectal surgeons offer the highest standard of care for malignant diseases, as well as the most complex benign conditions. Expert bariatric surgeons provide comprehensive surgical solutions in a compassionate environment for adolescents and adults through all stages of weight loss.
Our goal is to provide the most effective treatment with the least scarring and postoperative discomfort, as well as the shortest possible recovery time. In caring for our patients, we harness the latest technologies, with a focus on minimally invasive techniques, such as NOTES, a scar-less surgery that is used for removal of the gallbladder and appendix.
