Colorectal Surgery

At Cleveland Clinic London, we provide expert care for a variety of conditions that can affect your colon, rectum, intestines and anus. Conditions we treat include:

• Abdominal wall hernias and pelvic organ and rectal prolapse
• Anal fissures, fistulas and chronic anal pain
• Anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) and anal cancer
• Anal warts and haemorrhoids (piles)
• Chronic constipation, faecal incontinence and overactive bladder
• Colon polyps and colorectal cancer, including advanced and recurrent rectal cancer
• Diverticulosis and diverticulitis
• Inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
• Neuromuscular bowel conditions, including pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie syndrome), megacolon and intestinal twisting (volvulus)
• Stoma reversal

We will start your treatment journey with an initial evaluation. You’ll meet your colorectal surgeon to go over your diagnosis, symptoms and health history. This information plays a crucial role in helping our team tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs.

Treatment for Colorectal and Abdominal Cancers

• Bowel cancer treatment. We offer a variety of procedures to treat bowel cancers at any stage. These include stents to open bowel blockages, removing a small section of your bowel lining (local resection) and removing part or all of your bowel (colectomy).
• Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). We perform surgery and use heated chemotherapy to treat advanced abdominal cancers.
• Pelvic exenteration surgery. Advanced cancer may require a major procedure called pelvic exenteration surgery. During this surgery, colorectal surgeons, urologists and urogynaecologists will remove some or all your pelvic cavity organs.
• Advanced treatment for AIN. If you have precancerous anal intraepithelial neoplasia, your treatment may include surgery, laser ablation or skin creams.
• Complex abdominal and pelvic surgery. Restorative procedures include Ileoanal pouch surgery, J-pouch surgery and stoma reversal surgery after a colostomy or ileostomy.

Pelvic floor treatment

If you have pelvic floor problems like organ prolapse or bladder or faecal incontinence, your care team will include consultants from urology, urogynaecology, gastroenterology and colorectal surgery. These experts will work together to plan and manage your care. We may recommend minimally invasive treatments, such as:

• Neuromodulation using sacral nerve stimulation
• Rectal prolapse surgery (rectopexy)
• Pelvic organ prolapse surgery (sacrocolpopexy)

We can do prolapse surgeries with or without using mesh.
