Colorectal Surgery

Colorectal surgeons like Dr. McConnell specialize in the surgical and non-surgical care for structures of the lower digestive system, including the intestines, colon and rectum. Dr. McConnell may treat conditions such as colon and rectal cancer, polyps, fecal incontinence, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease and hemorrhoids. In the past, colorectal surgeons were commonly known as "proctologists."
