Understanding Colorectal Surgeries:

Colorectal surgeries encompass a spectrum of procedures targeting the rectum, anus, and colon. In Dr. Prasad Neelam’s practice, a range of interventions such as colectomy, hemorrhoidectomy, strictureplasty, polypectomy, and anoplasty are meticulously performed to address various colorectal disorders.

Why Colorectal Surgeries?

Patients may necessitate colorectal surgeries to address a myriad of disorders affecting the rectum, anus, and colon. Conditions ranging from varicosities, hemorrhoids, and anal fissures to more complex issues like Crohn’s disease, colorectal cancer, and injuries to the anus are effectively treated through these surgical interventions.

Different Types of Colorectal Surgeries:

Colectomy:

For patients grappling with conditions like colon cancer, diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis, Dr. Prasad Neelam recommends colectomy. This surgical procedure involves the removal of a part or the entire colon, and in extreme cases, a proctocolectomy may be performed to address rectal involvement. Dr. Neelam employs advanced techniques, including laparoscopy, for precise and minimally invasive colectomies.

Hemorrhoidectomy:

Sufferers of symptomatic grade III, grade IV hemorrhoids, strangulated internal hemorrhoids, and thrombosed external hemorrhoids find relief through hemorrhoidectomy. Dr. Prasad Neelam employs surgical expertise to delicately remove internal or external hemorrhoids, ensuring patients experience optimal outcomes.

Strictureplasty:

In cases of bowel narrowing due to scar tissue, often seen in patients with Crohn’s disease, strictureplasty becomes crucial. Dr. Neelam performs this surgery to alleviate bowel narrowing without resorting to extensive bowel resection. The procedure restores the free flow of the intestine, providing a viable solution for patients.

Polypectomy:

Colonic polyps, if left untreated, can lead to cancer. Dr. Prasad Neelam conducts colonic polypectomies using advanced endoscopic or laparoscopic methods. This preventive procedure removes polyps before they progress to malignancy, ensuring the patient’s long-term well-being.

Anoplasty:

Restoring normal function to the anus is achieved through anoplasty, a procedure that Dr. Neelam performs with precision. By dividing strictures and widening the anal canal, this surgical intervention ensures the optimal functioning of the anus, providing relief to patients.
