Colon and rectal surgeons at Brigham and Women's Hospital specialize in disorders of the colon, rectum and anus. We provide expert diagnosis and treatment for all colorectal conditions, including cancer. We offer minimally invasive surgery approaches, including laparoscopic and robotic surgery that use smaller incisions and reduce recovery time and complications. Surgical care includes partial and total colectomies, sphincter-sparing procedures, transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEMS) and the latest approaches for common and complex colorectal conditions.
Our board-certified colon and rectal surgeons have advanced training in colon and rectal surgery and serve as faculty members at Harvard Medical School, training the next generation of surgeons through the Brigham's colorectal surgery fellowship program.
We are the colon and rectal surgical team for the Gastrointestinal Cancer Treatment Center at Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center, and collaborate with medical specialists from the Brigham's Crohn’s and Colitis Center. Our surgeons help colorectal patients get better faster, with improved outcomes and fewer postoperative problems, by following evidence-based techniques, many of which were developed here.
As active researchers, our colon and rectal surgeons study numerous areas of gastrointestinal and colorectal disease, including cancer. We provide our patients with the latest therapeutic approaches to their care, through investigational clinical trials.
General and gastrointestinal surgery services are available at multiple locations in and around Boston.
For over a century, a leader in patient care, medical education and research, with expertise in virtually every specialty of medicine and surgery.
