Coloproctology

A proctologist, also known as a colon and rectal surgeon is a general surgeon who has received extra training in caring for diseases of the colon, rectum and anus.

Colon and rectal surgeons at GVM International offer the latest diagnostic and treatment services for disorders of the colon, rectum and anus. They perform thousands of colorectal surgeries each year. Our colon and rectal surgeons work closely with gastroenterologists to assess your symptoms and quickly reach an accurate diagnosis.

GVM International’s surgeons helped develop minimally invasive (laparoscopic) colon and rectal surgery and use these techniques on almost all surgeries. Laparoscopic procedures use smaller incisions than conventional surgery, which decreases bleeding, lessens pain and shortens both expected hospital stays and overall recovery times.

Any disturbance or abnormality in the colon, rectum and anus may result in any of the following symptoms:

• Rectal bleeding
• Anal pain
• Anal lumps
• Itching
• Constipation
• Diarrhoea
• Mucous or pus discharge
• Abdominal pain
