Procedures

This website will give you a broad outline of some of the conditions our doctors treat. There is a wealth of knowledge on the internet, but remember the best source of knowledge is from your doctor. We ask you to take the time during your consultation to talk about your condition and ask any questions necessary to put your mind at ease about upcoming treatment and outcomes. Our doctors will discuss the best treatment options available with you. You will have your choice of locations for any surgery that may be needed.

Ano-Rectal Tests

For many people, the thought of having tests on their back passage can be very embarrassing and frightening. These tests are not painful and are carried out by professional staff who will endeavour to maintain your dignity at all times.

Anterior Resection of the Rectum

The rectum is attached to the anal muscles which control when you have your bowels opened.

Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is a procedure where a flexible telescope (colonoscope) is passed around the large intestine (colon and rectum) via the anus, to the portion of the colon where the small intestine enters.

Follow up evaluation after surgery for Colorectal Cancer

Surgery is the most effective treatment for colorectal cancer. Even when all visible cancer has been removed, it is possible for cancer cells to be present in other areas of the body.

Gastroscopy

Gastroscopy involves inserting a flexible telescope (gastroscope) through your mouth to view your oesophagus, stomach and duodenum.

GTN (Glyceryl Trinitrate 0.2% Ointment)

GTN ointment is now available for the treatment of fissures, and is proving to be successful.

Ostomy

Most patients with ostomies resume their usual sexual activity. In men, removal of the lower rectum for cancer may result in sexual dysfunction due to injury to nerves that pass close to the rectum.

Crohn’s disease is a form of chronic inflammation of the bowel, the cause of which remains unknown. The small bowel is that part of the intestine between the stomach and duodenum above, and the colon below.
