Colorectal

Colorectal surgery involves the treatment of disorders affecting the rectum, colon, and anus. One major procedure is abdominoperineal resection, which removes the anus, rectum, and part of the sigmoid colon—often performed laparoscopically to minimize recovery time. In such cases, a stoma is created for waste elimination, and patients wear an external pouch. Bowel diversion surgeries, including colostomy and ileostomy, are performed when the intestines are removed or need healing time. These procedures may be temporary or permanent, and our team offers full support to help patients adjust physically and emotionally.

Minimally invasive laparoscopic colectomy and proctocolectomy procedures are increasingly used to treat conditions such as Crohn’s disease, colorectal cancer, ulcerative colitis, and bowel obstructions. These surgeries involve small incisions, faster recovery, and less postoperative discomfort. In restorative proctocolectomy, the diseased colon and rectum are removed, and a pouch is created from the ileum, preserving normal bowel function without the need for an external pouch. GMS Cyprus surgeons ensure patients receive expert care before, during, and after surgery, with long-term follow-up to monitor recovery and address any complications.
