              The Center for Colo-Rectal Surgery

              The Center for Colo-Rectal Surgery at Boca Raton Regional Hospital specializes in providing an integrated approach to the surgical treatment of colo rectal diseases, with a focus on collaboration among specialized physicians from Boca Regional and throughout the region.

              Offering comprehensive evaluation and treatment for patients, the Center treats a spectrum of colon and rectal disorders. Patients benefit by receiving cutting-edge, advanced treatment options, which allow for less pain, less blood loss, better outcomes, a shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to normal life or work.

              Under the direction of Andrew Ross, MD, a regional leader in colo-rectal surgery, the Center focuses on the medical management or
              surgical intervention for a variety of conditions, including colo-rectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), diverticulitis and anorectal disease (hemorrhoids and fistulas), tumors and incontinence, highlighted by a minimally invasive hemorrhoid treatment that is virtually painless with no recovery time.

              Boca Regional is a recognized leader in colorectal care. Its doctors have performed more than 3,500 col-rectal surgeries – the most in Palm Beach County – with 80 percent of all procedures performed robotically or laparoscopically, far greater than the national average of 20 to 25 percent.

              “At the collaborative Center for Colo-Rectal Surgery, our team has been able to significantly enhance the scope of colo-rectal care provided in the region,” said Dr. Ross. “By combining our team’s expertise with the experience of our partnering physicians, the Center lives up to its very name in providing the region with a centralized source for comprehensive surgical treatment of colo-rectal conditions.”

              We offer next-day appointments. To schedule, call 561.395.2626.

              A MULTIMODALITY APPROACH

              When treating colo-rectal cancer patients, the Center employs a multimodality approach, in which an entire medical team assembles at one time and in one location to create a strategic, personalized treatment plan for the patient. Multimodality clinics are a cornerstone component of treatment at Boca Regional’s Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute.

              The patient’s multimodality team will be comprised of physicians and healthcare professionals who specialize in colo-rectal cancer. During the initial visit, a patient will meet with a surgeon, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, oncology social worker, oncology dietitian, genetic oncologist or other specialists. This team of providers, along with radiologists, pathologists and additional experts, holds a conference to review the patient’s films, biopsy slides and any other test results. The team develops recommendations for additional diagnostic workups and treatments. The recommendations are then provided to the patient by the referring doctor or one of the team members. This evaluation allows each of the specialists involved in the care to meet together and create a coordinated treatment plan.
