Colorectal Procedures, Laparoscopic

    Overview

    Colorectal surgery is a surgical subspecialty involving diseases and conditions affecting the colon, rectum, and anus. Laparoscopic or robotic procedures use remotely operated tubes, lights, and instruments to gain access to the patient. Lighted tubes used in laparoscopic surgery allow a surgeon to better examine the interior organs, searching for cysts, polyps or other abnormalities. SIU HealthCare offers the most advance Laparoscopic and Robotic surgical procedures available.
