Surgical Procedures
 


Colorectal surgeons deal with diseases of the small bowel, colon, rectum and anal canal and work closely with medical gastroenterologists and radiologists. Professor Dorudi is a specialist in colorectal disease and treats inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), cancer of the colon and the rectum, and disorders of the anal canal such as haemorrhoids, fissures and anal fistula.



Surgery for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum

Surgery remains the standard curative treatment for this malignancy. Professor Dorudi has particular expertise in surgery for cancer of the colon and rectum and also in surgery for recurrent bowel cancer. He undertakes this surgery mainly at The Princess Grace Hospital where there is dedicated multi-disciplinary team, including a colorectal clinical fellow and a patient pathway navigator, who are all involved in the total care of the patient from diagnosis through to surgery. There is also a fully staffed intensive care unit at The Princess Grace Hospital resident intensive care fellows and daily consultant input.

 

 

Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Surgery

Professor Dorudi has a special interest in laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery for colorectal cancer. Whereas the traditional ‘open’ operation requires a cut in the abdomen, in some patients, three or four tiny small cuts in the abdomen wall can be used for keyhole surgery. This has the advantage of less post-operative pain and earlier return to full activity and work.       

 

Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Professor Dorudi has widespread experience in the surgery of complex inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and pouch surgery, Crohn’s disease and colonic diverticular disease).


Surgery of the Anal Canal

Professor Dorudi also treats other conditions of the anal canal, including haemorrhoids (piles), anal fissure and anal fistulas
