Colorectal Disease Services
Disorders of the lower gastrointestinal tract can be painful, embarrassing — even life-threatening. The cause can be extremely hard to pinpoint. In the case of colon cancer, there may be no pain at all until the disease has become life-threatening.
At the UCI Health Chao Digestive Disease Institute, we are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancers, the second leading cause of U.S. cancer deaths and the most preventable. We offer the most advanced screening colonoscopies, which can safely and painlessly detect precancerous polyps and other changes in the lining of the bowel.
Our colorectal disease specialists are leaders in the diagnosis and treatment of other disorders of the colon, rectum and small intestine, including: polyps, hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, rectal prolapse, anal and perianal malignancies, and bowel incontinence.
Our colorectal surgeons are experienced at robot-assisted surgical techniques and HIPEC, or hyperthermic interactive peritoneal chemotherapy, to target any microscopic cancer cells lingering after surgery.
We are dedicated to restoring function and improving the quality of life of all our patients.
