Rectal Cancer Treatment at Colorectal Surgery Associates

Rectal cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the rectum, the last portion of the large intestine. At Colorectal Surgery Associates, we specialize in the comprehensive care and treatment of rectal cancer, offering a personalized approach to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Our team of experienced colorectal surgeons works closely with oncologists, radiologists, and other specialists to develop a tailored treatment plan based on the stage and location of the cancer. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these methods.

Surgical Options for Rectal Cancer:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery: When appropriate, we perform laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery, which offers quicker recovery times and less pain compared to traditional open surgery.
  • Low Anterior Resection (LAR): A surgery that removes the cancerous part of the rectum while preserving the anal sphincter, allowing for normal bowel function post-surgery.
  • Abdominoperineal Resection (APR): If the cancer is located in a way that makes LAR unfeasible, this procedure may be recommended, which involves removing the rectum and anus, requiring a colostomy.

Post-Surgical Care:

Our commitment to patient care extends beyond surgery. We provide support for recovery, including pain management, nutrition counseling, and regular follow-up visits to monitor for recurrence.
