Colorectal Surgery

Colorectal surgery focuses on conditions affecting the colon, rectum and anus. These procedures may be recommended to treat a wide range of concerns, from colorectal cancer and polyps to chronic digestive disorders.

At Tanner Health, our surgeons provide comprehensive, evidence-based care designed to improve outcomes and support a safe recovery.

Conditions treated with colorectal surgery

Colorectal surgery may be used to treat:

Colorectal cancer (colon cancer)
Colon or rectal polyps
Diverticulitis
Crohn’s disease
Ulcerative colitis
Inflammatory bowel conditions
Fistulas and fissures
Chronic constipation
Hemorrhoids

Because these procedures can be complex, choosing an experienced surgical team is important. Our board-certified surgeons are highly trained in both traditional and minimally invasive techniques.

Robotic-assisted colorectal surgery at Tanner

When appropriate, colorectal procedures may be performed using robotic-assisted technology. This minimally invasive approach allows surgeons to operate with enhanced precision and visualization through small incisions.

Potential benefits of robotic-assisted colorectal surgery include:

Smaller incisions
Less blood loss
Reduced post-operative discomfort
Shorter hospital stays
Faster recovery

Our goal is to provide advanced surgical care that promotes both safety and comfort.
