Surgical Resection in Kansas City

At Colorectal Surgical Associates we offer the most up-to-date care for patients with an anal fistula. If you are experiencing symptoms of an anal fistula and are seeking treatment, please call (816) 941-0800 to meet with our colorectal surgeons. We have four convenient locations for patients located in Kansas City, including Gladstone, Overland Park, Independence, and Lee’s Summit.

For more advanced cancers, rectal resection surgery can be performed in which our surgeons remove the diseased section of the rectum, plus nearby lymph nodes. This is called a low anterior resection. After removing the diseased section, the two healthy parts of the intestine are reattached. We utilize a minimally invasive approach to speed recovery and minimize complications versus traditional open surgery performed through an abdominal incision. There are two surgery options:

• Robotic-assisted surgery – Made possible with da Vinci® technology, fewer, smaller incisions are made for insertion of surgical equipment and a camera for viewing to complete the procedure.
• Laparoscopic – Again, using small incisions, long-handled tools are inserted to perform surgery while viewing magnified images from the laparoscope (camera) on a video screen.
