What is Colorectal Cancer Surgery?
Colorectal cancer surgery involves the removal of cancerous tumors from the colon (large intestine) or rectum. Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar specializes in advanced surgical techniques including robotic surgery and laparoscopic approaches that offer superior outcomes compared to traditional open surgery.
As a da Vinci certified robotic surgeon, Dr. Bhavsar performs minimally invasive colorectal cancer procedures that result in:
- Smaller incisions and reduced scarring
- Less post-operative pain and faster recovery
- Shorter hospital stays (typically 3-5 days vs 7-10 days)
- Better preservation of healthy tissue
- Lower risk of complications and infections
- Quicker return to normal activities
Types of Colorectal Cancer Surgery
1. Robotic Colorectal Resection
Dr. Bhavsar's expertise in da Vinci robotic surgery allows for precision removal of colorectal tumors with enhanced visualization and dexterity. This advanced technique is particularly beneficial for complex cases and rectal cancer surgery.
2. Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery
Minimally invasive laparoscopic colorectal surgery using small incisions and a camera for guided tumor removal. Ideal for colon cancer and suitable rectal cancer cases.
3. Right/Left Hemicolectomy
Removal of the right or left portion of the colon affected by cancer, with reconnection of healthy bowel segments.
4. Low Anterior Resection (LAR)
Specialized technique for rectal cancer that preserves sphincter function and avoids the need for permanent colostomy in most cases.
5. Total Mesorectal Excision (TME)
Gold standard technique for rectal cancer surgery that ensures complete removal of cancer while preserving surrounding structures.
