  1. Understanding the Different Types of Colorectal Surgeries

  2. When facing colorectal health issues, it’s crucial to consult a specialist who can provide the most effective treatment options. Their colorectal surgeon in Glendale, Dr. Armen Gregorian, MD, can offer a range of surgical procedures tailored to individual needs. Understanding these procedures can help patients make informed decisions about their healthcare.

  3. TYPES OF COLORECTAL SURGERIES 1. Colonoscopy A colonoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that allows the surgeon to examine the inner lining of the colon and rectum using a long, flexible tube with a camera at the end. 2. Polypectomy Polypectomy involves removing polyps found in the colon or rectum. Polyps are growths that can be benign, precancerous, or cancerous. Removing them during a colonoscopy can prevent the development of colorectal cancer. 3. Colectomy A colectomy is a surgical procedure to remove part or all of the colon. It is often performed to treat conditions such as colorectal cancer, diverticulitis, or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There are several types of colectomy:

  4. 4. Hemorrhoidectomy Hemorrhoidectomy is the surgical removal of hemorrhoids, which are swollen veins in the lower rectum or anus. This procedure is typically recommended for severe cases where other treatments have failed to provide relief. Dr. Gregorian will remove the hemorrhoidal tissue to alleviate pain, bleeding, and discomfort. 5. Anal Fistulotomy An anal fistulotomy is performed to treat an anal fistula, which is an abnormal connection between the end of the bowel and the skin near the anus. This condition often results from an infection that has developed into an abscess.

  5. 6. Rectopexy Rectopexy is a surgical procedure used to correct rectal prolapse, a condition where the rectum slips out of its normal position and protrudes through the anus. Dr. Gregorian will reposition and secure the rectum using sutures or mesh during this procedure to prevent further prolapse. 7. Anastomosis Anastomosis is a procedure that connects two sections of the intestine after part of the colon has been removed. This technique is crucial for restoring normal bowel function following a colectomy.

  6. CHOOSING THE RIGHT SURGEON Selecting a skilled and experienced colorectal surgeon is essential for the best outcomes. Dr. Armen Gregorian, MD, a renowned colorectal surgeon in Glendale, is dedicated to providing personalized care and advanced surgical solutions.
