**Description:**
Colorectal surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures tailored to specific conditions. These surgeries aim to remove tumors, repair damaged tissues, and improve bowel function. Advanced surgical techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic approaches, allow for minimally invasive options with reduced pain and recovery time.
For patients with colorectal cancer, surgery plays a crucial role in removing cancerous tissues and determining the extent of the disease. Surgeons collaborate with a team of specialists to provide comprehensive care, including preoperative evaluation, surgical intervention, and postoperative follow-up.
Surgeons also manage inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic condition that affects the digestive tract. Colorectal surgeries can alleviate symptoms, reduce complications, and improve quality of life for patients with IBD. Additionally, surgeries are performed to treat hemorrhoids, enlarged veins in the rectum or anus, and diverticular disease, characterized by pouches in the colon that can lead to inflammation or infection.
What is Rectovaginal Fistula: Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment?
Rectovaginal fistula is an abnormal communication connecting the rectum and vagina characterized by involuntary leakage of stool and gas from the vagina. Symptoms may include difficulty in defecating, incontinence, foul smelling discharge, and painful intercourse. Its causes are diverse, ranging from obstetrical trauma in childbirth to inflammatory bowel diseases. Diagnosis is made through physical examination, imaging, and laboratory testing. Treatment is tailored to the individual patient and may include repair of the fistula using various methods and medications to manage accompanying symptoms. To ensure successful treatment, it is important to accurately diagnose the underlying cause.
