Abdominoperineal resection
Abdominoperineal resection (AP resection) is a procedure to remove your rectum, anal canal and lower bowel.
Anterior resection
Anterior resection is a surgical procedure to remove the diseased portion of your bowel and rectum (back passage).
Banding of Haemorrhoids
It involves placing a very tight elastic band around the base of your haemorrhoids to cut off their blood supply. The haemorrhoids should then fall off and pass out of your body when you go to the toilet.
Haemorrhoidectomy
This is a procedure to remove haemorrhoids (piles).
Ileal pouch anal anastomosis
If you have severe a bowel disease such as colon cancer or ulcerative colitis, you may need to have your large intestine (colon and rectum) removed. An Ileal pouch (or J pouch) procedure will help restore more normal control and passing of stool.
Rectopexy
Rectal prolapse occurs when part or your entire rectum (last part of your colon where stool is stored) falls out of your anus (back passage).
