Colorectal surgery involves repairing damage caused by disorders of the colon, rectum, anus and small intestine. Colorectal disorders can cause you discomfort and pain, and waiting for an accurate diagnosis and treatment can be an anxious time. As a patient, you want to know that you can be seen in a discreet and reassuring setting and that your treatment will minimize any distress and inconvenience, as quickly as possible.
The Colorectal Surgery Program within Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s Digestive Disease Institute specializes in the treatment of many colorectal disorders. We use the latest diagnostic tests and treatments to maximize success rates and deliver a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.
Our surgeons are experts in minimally invasive procedures, which, if suitable, will reduce recovery time, minimize pain and reduce the amount of time you spend in hospital. We are one of the few centers in the region to provide state-of-the-art robotic colorectal surgery and transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM), which can result in fewer complications and a quicker return to normal activities.
