Colorectal Conditions Treated at Colon & Rectal Associates

Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the colon or rectum. It often develops from precancerous polyps, making regular screenings essential for early detection. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation, depending on the stage and location of the cancer.

Colorectal Polyps

Colorectal polyps are growths that form on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. While most polyps are benign, some can develop into cancer over time. Regular screenings and removal of polyps during colonoscopy can significantly reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.

Diverticular Disease

Diverticular disease occurs when small pouches (diverticula) form in the walls of the colon. This condition can lead to diverticulitis, which is characterized by inflammation and infection of the diverticula. Treatment may involve dietary changes, medication, or surgery in severe cases.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Inflammatory bowel disease encompasses chronic conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, which cause inflammation of the digestive tract. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss. Management often involves medication, lifestyle changes, and, in some cases, surgery.

Stoma/Ostomy Reversal

A stoma is a surgically created opening that allows waste to exit the body when the colon or rectum cannot function normally. Stoma reversal surgery aims to restore the normal function of the digestive tract by reconnecting the bowel. This procedure can significantly improve the quality of life for patients who have undergone ostomy surgery.
