Colorectal surgery (bowel)

We provide diagnosis, treatment, and support for patients with both benign and malignant (cancer) conditions relating to the bowel, including:

  • inflammatory bowel disease

  • colorectal cancer diagnoses and surgery

  • benign anorectal disease

  • stoma care


Our specialist teams include consultant colorectal and general surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and colorectal nurse specialists.

Jodi Abberley, Senior Physiotherapist, explains how the Physiotherapy team helps to care for patients following their bowel surgery.
