Rectal Cancer Surgery

The principal factors influencing the choice of the scope of operational intervention comply with two mandatory conditions:

• ensuring the maximum radicalism of the operation, that is, the removal of the cancer tumour along with the zones and pathways of regional metastasis in a single fascial (embryonic) case
• the surgeon’s desire to ensure the maximum physiology of the operation.

Also, the choice of the nature and scope of the surgical intervention (primarily organ-preserving) depends on the degree of local spread of the tumour process and the level of tumour localization in the rectum.

The Israeli TAMC clinic employs experienced doctors who have been performing various operations on the rectum for more than 10 years to remove a malignant tumour. Our specialists have great practical experience and knowledge. The department is equipped with modern equipment, which allows the use of unique therapies. Wards of the department are equipped with everything necessary for the speedy recovery of patients. If necessary, our employees will help contact charitable foundations to raise funds for treatment.

Preparing for surgery

Each patient must be diagnosed before undergoing surgery. This study is necessary to detect cancer cells at the initial stage, to determine the characteristics of the development of pathology and the general condition of a person. The whole procedure is performed on very sensitive equipment. Thus, the doctors of our clinic in 85% of cases manage to prevent the spread of metastases throughout the body.

Surgery 

The surgeons of our department use the laparoscopic method of surgery, which is the safest and most effective for the patient. The entire procedure is performed under anaesthesia. The doctor inserts a laparoscope and a special instrument to remove the tumour through small punctures on the body. Throughout the procedure, a team of specialists monitors the patient’s condition on a monitor. Thus, this resection method allows you to preserve the urinary function of a person, and the recovery period for the patient is significantly reduced.

Rehabilitation 

After the surgery, the patient stays in a hospital for some time under close medical supervision. He develops for the patient a complex of physiotherapy and a diet that will help a person quickly return to an active lifestyle. Thus, the doctors of our clinic manage to help even in the most difficult situations.
