Overview of Colorectal Surgery in Dubai

Colorectal surgery, also known as colorectal or intestinal surgery, is a specialized field that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases affecting the colon, rectum, and anus. It involves surgical procedures performed on these organs to treat various conditions, including colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, haemorrhoids, anal fistulas, and rectal prolapse.

There are various minimally invasive techniques used in colorectal surgery in Dubai, such as laparoscopic surgery, robotic-assisted surgery, and transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS). These approaches often reduce postoperative pain, involve smaller incisions, and allow quicker recovery than traditional open surgery.
