Why see an Intus colorectal surgeon?

Our highly specialised and internationally trained colorectal surgeons are dedicated to the provision of a range of surgical options for patients with colorectal (bowel) and anorectal diseases and disorders.

We work in a multidisciplinary team to ensure that you receive the best possible personalised care with a holistic focus. Gastroenterologists, dietitians and physiotherapists play a vital part in many treatment pathways.

Further, Intus provides full support services to its surgeons so they can spend their time focusing on you.
