Colorectal surgery is usually undertaken to repair
damage to the anus, rectum and colon that can result from disease such
as bowel cancer, anal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and
diverticulitis. Inflammatory bowel diseases include Crohn's disease and
ulcerative colitis. Disorders such as rectal prolapse and
incontinence, polyps, and haemorrhoids may often be treated by
colorectal surgery.
Private treatment and surgery for colorectal problems is
widely available in the private healthcare sector in the UK. The
surgery is normally undertaken by a Consultant General Surgeon who
specialises in colorectal surgery.
Many people choose to opt for private colorectal surgery, so Harley Street is an obvious place to consider.
