Colorectal Surgical Oncology

Overview

Our colorectal surgical oncology team provides comprehensive treatment for colorectal cancers and benign conditions while prioritising bowel function and patient dignity. 

The Tower
  • Minimally invasive and robotic colorectal cancer surgery
  • Advanced techniques to preserve bowel and sphincter function.
  • Comprehensive stoma care for patients needing faecal diversion.

 

  • Specialised services
    • High-resolution anoscopy and colonoscopy for the early detection of colorectal and anal cancer.
    • Screening and genetic counselling for colorectal cancer risk.

 

  • Advanced surgical techniques
    • Total mesorectal excision (TME): The removal of the rectum and the mesorectum, i.e., the fatty tissues surrounding the rectum that contain blood vessels and lymph nodes; this ensures the best oncologic outcomes with the least impact on bowel control.
    • Sphincter-preserving surgery: The removal of the rectum, while preserving the anal sphincter muscles; this reduces the need for permanent colostomy, a surgical procedure in which after the removal of a part of the colon to treat cancer, an opening (stoma) is created in the large intestine through the abdominal wall, providing an outlet for stool.
    • Trans anal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS): Minimally invasive laparoscopy-based surgery performed via the anus for the treatment of rectal tumours; this ensures faster healing and a smoother recovery.
    • Pelvic floor reconstruction: Surgical restoration/repair of the pelvic floor, i.e., the collection of muscles, ligaments, and tissues supporting the pelvic organs; this ensures long-term bowel function and continence. 
  • Colonoscopy is a powerful tool for early colorectal cancer detection.
  • A high-fibre diet can support bowel health.
  • Post-surgical care includes dietary adjustments and continence management.
