Section of Colorectal Surgery

 

This burgeoning division of colorectal surgery offers invaluable learning in the treatment of anorectal disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and colorectal cancer. Residents are exposed to the most advanced techniques of benign anorectal surgery as well as to the more traditional methods.

 

Working closely with medical oncology and radiation oncology, residents are  able to experience the multidisciplinary teamwork that is necessary in treating colorectal cancer. This section also provides them the opportunity to learn the advanced skills of laparoscopic bowel surgery as well as those of colonoscopy.
