Minimally Invasive Colon and Rectal Surgery Options
At 日本av色情片, our team offers the most advanced and comprehensive minimally invasive colon and rectal surgery options available.
Laparoscopic colon surgery or colectomy: Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique in which small tubes with a light and camera attached are inserted into small incisions (cut) in the abdomen. The camera projects a high-definition image of the body onto a screen in the operating room. This image guides the surgeon to perform the specific surgery needed, without the need for a large incision.
Laparoscopic rectal prolapse repair: This procedure uses several small incisions in the abdomen. The surgeon inserts special surgical tools and a tiny camera through the abdominal incisions to repair the rectal prolapse.
Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) and transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS): Both TEM and TAMIS are techniques that allow surgeons to remove polyps and early-stage cancerous tumors in the rectum using a port and microscopic lens placed in the rectum. This technology preserves a patient’s anal sphincter muscle control.
Robotic-assisted surgery: Robotic surgery, or robot-assisted surgery, involves the use of surgeon-guided, robotic arms that allow the surgeon to perform complex procedures with more precision and control than is possible with conventional techniques. With its enhanced visualization, it is most commonly used for tumors located in the sigmoid (the lower portion of the large bowel) and rectum.
