Columbia’s Division of Colorectal Surgery has unmatched expertise in the surgical management of Crohn’s Disease and ulcerative colitis, forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), offering the most innovative surgical approaches to preserve intestinal length and help patients retain continence after bowel resection.
A recent study published in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute shows that the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in the U.S. is declining rapidly overall but curiously increasing among young adults.
Surgeons at the Division of Colorectal Surgery are able to perform procedures that maintain continence, reverse ostomies, and provide other treatment options not available elsewhere.
