Colorectal Surgery

---

Tennova Medical Group - Knoxville surgeons offer experience in colon and rectal surgery, including colonoscopy. Whenever possible, surgeons use minimally invasive techniques for colorectal conditions, such as laparoscopic and robotic surgery, which offer smaller incisions, less pain and a quicker recovery.

Surgeons work closely with gastroenterologists and other specialists to provide supportive care for conditions such as:

• Colon and rectal cancer
• Colon motility problems, such as chronic constipation and bowel incontinence
• Conditions requiring colon resections
  
• Colon polyps
• Appendicitis
• Cyst/lesion or masses that require removal
• Diverticular disease
• EGD
• Gallbladder conditions that result in needing removal of the organ
• Hemorrhoids, fissure and fistula
• Inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
