FAQ
About surgery
What is colorectal surgery?
Colorectal surgery treats conditions of the colon, rectum and anus. Common reasons for surgery include colorectal cancer, polyps that cannot be removed endoscopically, complicated diverticular disease and some cases of inflammatory bowel disease.
What is the difference between laparoscopic and open surgery?
Open surgery uses one larger incision; laparoscopic surgery uses several small incisions, a camera and long instruments. The operation inside the body can be the same. Smaller incisions may mean less pain and a shorter stay for many patients, but laparoscopy is not suitable for everyone, and a laparoscopic operation may be converted to open surgery for safety.
What is robotic-assisted colorectal surgery?
It is minimally invasive colorectal surgery in which the surgeon operates wristed instruments from a console while viewing a magnified 3D image. The robot does not act on its own. Whether it offers an advantage depends on the operation and the patient.
What is general and oncological surgery?
General surgery covers operations on the abdominal organs, digestive tract and abdominal wall. Oncological surgery is the surgical treatment of tumours, usually as part of a plan made with oncologists, who may also give chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
What are common approaches in bariatric surgery?
Common operations include sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass, usually performed laparoscopically. An intragastric balloon is a temporary endoscopic option without incisions. Each has different benefits, risks and long-term requirements, including lifelong follow-up and supplements after surgery.
How is the appropriate surgical approach determined?
The approach depends on the diagnosis and its stage, findings from examinations and imaging, previous operations, general health and the patient's preferences. For cancer, the plan is usually agreed by a multidisciplinary team. The options and their risks are discussed before any decision.
What questions should I ask during a surgical consultation?
Useful questions include: What is the diagnosis? What are the options, including not operating? Which approach is suggested and why? What are the main risks? How long is the hospital stay and recovery? What follow-up will be needed? Who should I contact if problems arise after surgery?
Is the information on this website medical advice?
No. The information is general and educational. It does not replace an examination and personal advice from a doctor. In an emergency, call 112.
