Patient Information

I have written a basic patient information sheet regarding major colorectal procedures.  It covers the processes involved in the operation and the known risks.

Please click here for my Colorectal Surgery Information Sheet.

I have also written a Fast Track Recovery Guide which gives self-help information to ensure a speedy recuperation after surgery.

The above procedures cover laparoscopic (minimal access or keyhole) surgery.  A new type of surgery called Natural Orifice Surgery (NOTES) is gaining popularity as it has no skin cuts at all.  For certain patients, Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery (TEMS) can be performed via the bottom and will aid recovery times
