Colorectal

Colorectal surgery covers cancers of the colon and rectum as well as chronic inflammatory and benign bowel disease.

Colorectal cancer and small intestinal tumors, including gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), are treated with resections designed to remove disease completely while preserving bowel function wherever possible.

Chronic conditions such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and sigmoid diverticulitis are also managed surgically when medical treatment is no longer sufficient to control symptoms or complications such as bleeding, perforation, or obstruction.

Why timely assessment matters

Tumours of the digestive system often cause few or no symptoms until they are advanced. A prompt surgical opinion establishes whether an operation is possible, how much healthy tissue can be preserved, and in what order surgery, chemotherapy, and other treatment should be given. A second opinion is worthwhile even when an operation has been ruled out elsewhere.

What to expect

Every case is reviewed individually. Prof. Dr. Yedibela examines your imaging and pathology, tells you directly whether surgery is appropriate, and coordinates any chemotherapy or other treatment needed before and after the operation. International patients are supported from arrival in Istanbul through to a safe discharge home.
