Conditions and Services

UC Irvine Healthcare’s colorectal surgery services places a strong emphasis on quality of life for patients with colorectal disorders, with our use of minimally invasive, sphincter-saving procedures. Our team treats patients with a wide range of disorders, including cancers of the small intestine, colon, rectum and anus.

Disorders treated also include polyps, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis), diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, fistulae, fissures, incontinences and rectal prolapse. Our surgeons are also skilled in colostomy-sparing procedures, emphasizing laparoscopic and robot-assisted approaches.
