Rectal Cancer Surgery
From Diagnosis to Victory: Comprehensive Rectal Cancer Surgery
At Universal Hospital, our specialized team of colorectal surgeons, oncologists, and healthcare professionals is committed to providing comprehensive care, from diagnosis to recovery. Rectal cancer surgery aims to remove the tumor, address affected lymph nodes, and potentially resect a portion of the rectum for complete treatment. Rectal cancer surgery is a critical component of the treatment plan for individuals diagnosed with cancer in the rectum.
Types of Rectal Cancer Surgery:
Transanal Excision:
Removal of small, early-stage rectal tumors through the anus using specialized instruments.
Low Anterior Resection (LAR):
Removal of the cancerous part of the rectum, followed by the reconnection of the remaining healthy colon to the anus.
Abdominoperineal Resection (APR):
Removal of the entire rectum and anus, with the creation of a permanent colostomy, often necessary for lower rectal cancers.
Total Mesorectal Excision (TME):
Precise removal of the entire rectum along with the surrounding tissue and lymph nodes, minimizing the risk of cancer recurrence.
Laparoscopic or Robotic-Assisted Surgery:
Minimally invasive approaches using small incisions and specialized instruments, offering potential benefits such as quicker recovery and less postoperative pain.
