Leading Inpatient Colonoscopy Clinic
The Medical City's Colorectal Clinic is the first hospital-based specialty clinic that caters to patients with colorectal and anal problems, including cancer and benign diseases like hemorrhoids, perianal infection, fistula, fissures, and incontinence to name a few. Our colon hospital is manned by the country's premier specialists and equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical technologies. Colorectal cancer can be staged accurately using endorectal and endoanal ultrasonography performed by the most experienced colorectal surgeons in the country. The Unit is capable of treating all stages of colorectal cancer, using advanced endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques for early-stage disease, as well as appropriate aggressive surgery for advanced metastatic diseases.
