Colorectal procedures
A guide to colorectal surgery and our procedures
What is colorectal surgery?
Colorectal surgery focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the colon, rectum and anus. These conditions can cause a range of symptoms, including pain, bleeding, changes in bowel habits and ongoing discomfort.
Treatment will depend on the condition and its severity. Some problems can be managed with medication or changes to diet and lifestyle, while others may require further investigation or surgery.
Mr Tewari provides assessment and treatment for a range of colorectal conditions, including anal fissures, anal fistulas, haemorrhoids and pilonidal sinus, as well as carrying out colonoscopy procedures to investigate symptoms affecting the bowel.
