                      Colorectal Surgery


                      Surgeons at Commonwealth Health Physician Network offer colon and rectal surgery, including minimally invasive techniques, to treat colorectal conditions. Minimally invasive surgery may offer smaller incisions, less pain and a quicker recovery.

                      The surgeons work closely with gastroenterologists and other specialists to provide supportive care for conditions such as:

                      • Colon and rectal cancer
                      • Colon motility problems, such as chronic constipation and bowel incontinence
                      • Diverticular disease
                      • Hemorrhoids, fissure and fistula
                      • Inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
                      • Polyps
