Department of Colorectal Surgery

Andreas Kaiser, MD, Interim Chair

The highly trained physicians of the Department of Colorectal Surgery are internationally recognized for their expertise in managing colon cancer, colorectal disease, inflammatory bowel disease and benign disorders of the colon, rectum and anus. The department’s faculty-physicians conduct leading-edge research that can offer immediate benefits for patients.

We offer a variety of tests to help our specialists diagnose colorectal disorders and to help determine which patients would benefit from medications, advanced surgical techniques or other therapies.

Our multidisciplinary team includes specialists in:

  • Colorectal surgery
  • Colon cancer
  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiation oncology
  • Medical oncology
  • Nursing
  • Diagnostic radiology
  • Physical therapy
  • Enterostomal therapy
  • Social services

We are dedicated to providing compassionate, individually tailored patient care. Every patient’s care plan is carefully reviewed and fully coordinated with your referring physician.

Our team is especially sensitive to the anxieties and concerns of patients who have benign or malignant colorectal disease. At each stage of care, team members work closely with patients to alleviate any physical or emotional stress they may experience.
