General Info

Some of the procedures MultiCare colorectal surgeons offer to patients suffering colorectal issues include:Bowel (colon) resection: The damaged part of the intestine is removed to lessen symptoms and improve overall health. The remaining healthy sections are joined together.Hemorrhoid surgery: Blood flow may be surgically cut off from the hemorrhoid through the use of staples, chemical injection, laser or rubber band placement. Once blood flow is cut off, the hemorrhoid shrinks and the discomfort passes. In other cases, the hemorrhoid may be removed altogether.Pelvic floor reconstruction: Misplaced organs are returned to their natural position and then surgically reinforced so they remain in place.Total colectomy: This involves removal of the entire colon. It is typically reserved for advanced cases of colon cancer, ulcerative colitis and Crohns disease.
