Top Colorectal Surgeons in Columbus Ohio

The Colon, also know as the large bowel, is the last section of bowel your food you eat travels before a bowel movement. Issues that can effect the colon include Inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, colorectal cancer, colorectal polyp, and diverticulitis. These problems can cause narrowing of the bowel, blockage, abscesses, bleeding, and fistulas.

How We Work to Minimize Discomfort & Maximize Recovery

If surgical intervention is necessary, our MD Anderson certified surgeons attempt to limit the pain and recovery of surgery using advance techniques including minimally invasive surgery and protocols including ERAS (Enhance Recovery After Surgery).

Minimally invasive colon surgery benefits include less scarring, earlier return of colon function, less pain, and shorter hospital stays. Minimally invasive intervention has these benefits without affecting the 5-year cancer survival rates when compared to an open procedure.

Colon Cancer

Colon cancer is the third most common cancer for men and women.
Early detection and treatment are essential in stopping the spread and curing this cancer.
Treatment typically requires removing the cancer containing section of colon.

Diverticulitis

As you get older, small pouches called diverticula can develop in the wall of the colon.
These pouches can become infected or inflamed which is called diverticulitis.
Diverticulitis symptoms may include pain, tenderness, fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation
Diverticulitis can lead to perforation, fistulas, bleeding, or even blockage
