Colostomy-Sparing Surgery

Treatment in Arizona

Treatment Team

The treatment team for patients undergoing colostomy-sparing surgery at Mayo Clinic brings together health care professionals from Colon and Rectal Surgery, General Surgery, Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Hematology/Oncology and Radiation Oncology as appropriate. This team of physicians has developed both diagnostic and treatment algorithms to serve as a guide for uniform evaluation and treatment of patients. The algorithms facilitate an individualized treatment plan for each patient.

Clinics are being developed that will allow patients to be seen in a single location by specialists in colon and rectal surgery, gastroenterology, radiation oncology and medical oncology, as needed. These clinics should result in improved patient education and efficiency and reduced confusion about treatment.
