A professional proctologist is a surgeon who received vigorous training in order to treat and diagnose serious conditions accurately by using surgical procedures and medicine.

A variety of medical conditions a proctologist will treat will require a surgical procedure and include:

• Hemorrhoids:

  Colorectal surgeons can treat and remove the causes of hemorrhoids with excisional procedures and hemorrhoidal banding.

• Digestive tract trauma:

  In some cases a surgeon may have to fix damage to either save the patient or to resolve complications developing from the original injury. Digestive tract trauma is a result of an injury that causes damage to the bowels or intestines.

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS):

  IBS is not only caused by problems with a patient’s digestive tract, it could also be caused by stress. When a person suffers from this condition they experience nausea, stomach aches, diarrhea and the urge to use the restroom frequently.

• Bowel incontinence:

  Bowel incontinence is when a patient experiences unexpected bowel movement accidents due to not being able to control his/her bowel function.

• Colon polyps:

  A proctologist is trained to discover growths in the colon and remove them during a colonoscopy.

  The polyps are then evaluated in order to determine a patient’s risk for cancer and other types of medical conditions.

• Inflammatory bowel disease:

  This type of bowel disease is often called ulcerative colitis Crohn’s disease. The symptoms of this disease includes chronic digestive discomfort.

• Colorectal cancer:

  Some patients require a colostomy when suffering from this condition. Only a few patients are able to actually have this condition reversed, while others must live with this condition permanently. Treatments may include radiation, surgical removal of the tumor or chemotherapy.

  Prior to having colorectal surgery, patients are supposed to be informed of the high-risk.

Mistakes can occur when a surgeon botches up a surgical procedure. Another reason why many surgeons our sued for malpractice is due to lack of understanding of patient’s medical history. Injured patients should not be held responsible for a medical professionals mistakes.
