Breast & Colorectal SURGICAL CENTRE

Our Comprehensive Colorectal Treatment Options

For colorectal conditions, we combine established surgical approaches with modern techniques to support recovery and long-term outcomes.

• Minimal Invasion Surgery: Performed using specialised instruments and small incisions, this approach reduces surgical trauma, limits post-operative discomfort and supports faster healing and recovery.
• Colostomy: Involves creating an opening in the abdominal wall to divert waste into a colostomy bag. This may be temporary to allow the bowel to heal after surgery, or permanent when normal bowel function cannot be safely restored.
• Local Excision: Focuses on removing small, early-stage tumours directly from the bowel wall without removing large sections of surrounding tissue, helping preserve normal bowel function where appropriate.
• Resection: Removes the affected portion of the colon or rectum along with nearby tissue, after which the healthy ends are reconnected, when possible, to maintain bowel continuity and function.
• Polypectomy: The removal of polyps during endoscopic procedures, preventing these abnormal growths from developing into colorectal cancer over time.
• Cryoablation: Utilises extremely cold temperatures to destroy abnormal or cancerous tissue by freezing and breaking down cells, offering a targeted option for selected cases.
• Chemotherapy: Uses anti-cancer drugs that circulate throughout the body to destroy cancer cells, slow tumour growth or reduce the risk of recurrence, particularly when cancer has spread beyond the bowel.
• Radiation Therapy: High-energy radiation, such as X-rays or protons, are used to damage the DNA of cancer cells, controlling tumour growth, shrinking tumours before surgery or relieving symptoms while limiting exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
