Colorectal surgery, also known as proctology, is the specialised field of medicine dedicated to diagnosing, managing, and treating conditions affecting the colon, rectum, anus, and pelvic floor. Proctologists (colorectal surgeons) provide sensitive and discreet medical care for a variety of common and complex conditions, ranging from haemorrhoids and anal fissures to colorectal cancer and pelvic floor disorders.
At Busamed, our proctology specialists combine advanced medical techniques with compassionate patient care. We understand that conditions treated by proctologists may cause discomfort, embarrassment or anxiety, which is why at Busamed, we prioritise patient comfort, discretion, and compassionate consultation, ensuring your healthcare experience remains reassuring, comfortable and dignified.
Busamed Hospital Group is widely recognised in South Africa for exceptional standards of clinical care in proctology. With state-of-the-art diagnostic, surgical, and minimally invasive technologies, our colorectal specialists deliver effective treatments with significantly reduced recovery times.
At Busamed facilities, we offer advanced endoscopic procedures—including minimally invasive colonoscopies, gastroscopies, and capsule endoscopies—to accurately diagnose colorectal issues. Our dedicated Gastrointestinal Units, such as at Busamed Hillcrest, are expressly equipped for comfortable and efficient gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures, ensuring precision diagnosis and comprehensive treatment planning.
Our proctologists utilise the latest minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgical techniques, enabling them to perform surgery with smaller incisions, decreased risk of infection, shorter hospital stays, and faster patient recovery times. At Busamed, these innovative surgical methods also effectively manage more complex conditions such as colorectal cancers, rectal prolapse, fistulas, inflammatory bowel diseases, and severe haemorrhoids.
Busamed emphasises multidisciplinary care, where proctologists collaborate closely with gastroenterologists, oncologists, radiologists, and pelvic floor specialists, ensuring an integrated treatment plan tailored for each patient's specific condition and personal requirements. Our aim is always to restore quality of life and ensure the best surgical outcomes.
