Your Mayo Clinic care team

Surgeons in the Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery at Mayo Clinic offer the latest in diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the colon, rectum and anus. These surgeons work closely with colleagues in gastroenterology and hepatology, medical oncology, inflammatory bowel disease and other specialties to ensure that you receive comprehensive, innovative and supportive care.

Mayo Clinic's team of experienced ostomy nurses, also known as wound ostomy continence nurses or WOC nurses, play a crucial role in supporting you before and after ostomy surgery. They provide expert care, education and guidance on managing ostomies, helping you adapt to a new lifestyle and achieve the best possible outcomes.

Decades of experience

Mayo Clinic surgeons have extensive experience in the latest techniques and regularly perform both routine and highly complex procedures for conditions affecting the digestive system, including colon and rectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis and many other conditions. As a high-volume practice, our teams are leading the way in surgical skills and evaluation for surgical options as part of the broader care plan.

Faster recovery

These Mayo Clinic approaches promote faster healing and a smoother recovery:

  • Minimally invasive and robotic surgery. Mayo Clinic surgeons are skilled at minimally invasive and robotic surgery techniques, which are proved to result in shorter hospital stays and fewer complication rates.
  • Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS). ERAS is a program designed to help you recover more quickly and smoothly after surgery by focusing on nutrition, pain management and physical activity.
