Colorectal surgery covers diseases of the large intestine, rectum and anus — from common problems like piles and fissures to serious conditions like colon cancer, diverticular disease and bowel obstruction. Most colorectal procedures today are done by keyhole (laparoscopic) or robotic surgery, which preserves bowel function, reduces pain and shortens hospital stay. Symptoms like change in bowel habit, blood in stool, unexplained anaemia or persistent abdominal cramps need timely evaluation with a colonoscopy. In India, colorectal cancer is one of the fastest-rising cancers — and almost always curable when caught early.

Conditions commonly treated

If any of the warning signs below sound familiar, get a specialist opinion — early evaluation is the single biggest factor in good outcomes.

Colon cancer

Cancer of the large intestine, often silent in the early stages. Routine colonoscopy after 45 (or earlier with family history) finds and removes pre-cancerous polyps. Survival rates exceed 90% when found early.

When to see a specialist
  • Blood in stool or black tarry stools
  • Change in bowel habit lasting > 4 weeks
  • Unexplained anaemia or weight loss

Treatment offered: Colonoscopy with biopsy, CT staging, and laparoscopic or robotic colectomy with lymph-node clearance. Adjuvant chemotherapy as per tumour board.

Diverticulosis & diverticulitis

Small out-pouches in the colon wall, common after 50. Most cause no symptoms; some get infected (diverticulitis) with left-sided pain and fever, and a few bleed or perforate.

When to see a specialist
  • Persistent left lower abdominal pain with fever
  • Sudden severe abdominal pain (perforation)
  • Heavy painless rectal bleeding

Treatment offered: CT-based diagnosis, conservative management for uncomplicated attacks, and laparoscopic resection for recurrent, complicated or fistulising disease.

Intestinal obstruction

Blockage of the small or large bowel — usually from adhesions, hernias, tumours or strictures. Needs urgent evaluation; delayed treatment risks bowel perforation.

When to see a specialist
  • Severe colicky abdominal pain with vomiting
  • Stoppage of stool and gas
  • Abdominal distension that keeps worsening

Treatment offered: Resuscitation, CT scan to identify cause and level, and emergency laparoscopic adhesiolysis, hernia repair or tumour resection as indicated.
