Colon and Rectal Surgery

Surgical Expertise for Better Outcomes

The AdventHealth Digestive Institute is one of the region’s foremost centers for diagnosing and treating colon, rectal and anal conditions. Our board-certified physicians and surgeons specialize in treating colorectal and anal cancer, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, fecal incontinence (and other pelvic floor disorders), hemorrhoids, fistulas and more. They’re experts in using minimally invasive surgery with only a few small incisions to treat these conditions.

While our surgeons are board-certified in both general surgery and colon and rectal surgery, they focus solely on the surgical treatment of colon, rectal and anal conditions. That means they have experience performing thousands of these kinds of surgical procedures to provide you with better outcomes and peace of mind.

Minimally Invasive Care for Colon, Rectal and Anal Conditions

Our team offers minimally invasive surgical options for cancer and noncancerous conditions. These less-invasive procedures require only a few small incisions. As much as possible, our surgeons work to spare patients the need for permanent colostomies. We offer J-pouch and sphincter-preserving procedures so waste can exit the body the same way it did before surgery, allowing patients with rectal and anal conditions to maintain their normal function.
