It is critically important to have clear understanding of pathophysiology of colorectal cancers and inflammatory bowel diseases, particularly rectal cancers to achieve cure by complete mesorectal excision to remove all the lymph glands and at the same time to avoid permanent colostomy as much as possible without compromising the cure. Most of these demanding surgical procedures are done laparoscopically in our practice, that’s where we make difference to patients by providing the highest quality of care.


Over the years our practice has been actively involved in teaching residents and research. We do clinical research on diseases of Colon, Rectum and Intestines to evaluate the efficacy of various management modalities to develop and establish gold standard of care.
