Colon Cancer
Colon Cancer – Expert Surgical Care and Comprehensive Treatment at SurgicalSol
Colon cancer is a serious condition that develops from uncontrolled cell growth in the large intestine. It often begins as benign polyps that can transform into cancer over time. Symptoms may include persistent changes in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, abdominal discomfort, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue. At SurgicalSol, Dr. Asif Iqbal provides expert, comprehensive surgical management for colon cancer, offering advanced treatment strategies aimed at complete cancer removal and long-term patient health.
The primary treatment for colon cancer is surgical removal of the cancerous section of the colon. Dr. Iqbal specializes in performing minimally invasive colectomy procedures using laparoscopic or robotic-assisted techniques. This approach involves making several small incisions, through which a camera and specialized instruments are used to precisely remove the affected portion of the colon along with nearby lymph nodes. The healthy ends of the colon are then reconnected to restore normal digestive function. This minimally invasive method offers significant benefits, including reduced post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
