What is colorectal surgery?

Colorectal surgery covers all operations performed on the colon, rectum and sometimes the anus. It is indicated for the treatment of numerous digestive pathologies, both benign and serious, such as :

  • Intestinal polyps at risk of degeneration.
  • Diverticula (diverticulosis or diverticulitis).
  • Colorectal cancer.
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis (UC).
  • Rectal fistulas, abscesses, stenoses or prolapses.

This surgical specialty, now reinforced by cutting-edge technologies, not only provides effective treatment of the disease, but also delivers a lasting improvement in the patient's quality of life.

Main colorectal surgery procedures

Among the main colorectal surgery techniques offered in Turkey, the following can be found:

  • Partial or total colectomy: Removal of a portion or the entire colon, often indicated in cases of cancer, extensive polyps, or ulcerative colitis.
  • Rectal resection: A targeted procedure on the rectum, particularly used in cases of rectal cancer or severe proctitis.
  • Surgical polypectomy: Performed when polyps are too numerous, too large, or carry a high risk of turning cancerous.
  • Treatment of digestive complications: Fistulas, abscesses, strictures, or rectal prolapse can be surgically corrected using personalized approaches.

Depending on the case, the procedure can be performed through open surgery, laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, or robot-assisted surgery. The choice depends on the pathology, the patient's condition, and the surgeon's expertise.

When should you consult a specialist in colorectal surgery?

Certain digestive symptoms should be taken seriously and warrant prompt medical consultation:

  • Blood in the stool
  • Unusual changes in bowel habits (chronic constipation or persistent diarrhea)
  • Recurrent abdominal pain
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Difficulty with bowel movements or a sensation of a mass

If in doubt, a comprehensive digestive assessment including a colonoscopy, blood tests, and medical imaging is essential before making any surgical decisions.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, or simply wish to seek a professional opinion, take advantage of a free teleconsultation with a colorectal surgery specialist in Turkey. This could be your first step toward timely, reassuring, and personalized care.

How do I prepare for colorectal surgery in Turkey?

Preparation for colorectal surgery begins several weeks before the procedure. Everything is done to ensure that you arrive in the best possible physical and psychological condition, in order to optimize both results and recovery.

Teleconsultation and Medical File Review

You will start by submitting your medical exams (colonoscopy, imaging, blood tests, medical reports, etc.). A free teleconsultation is then scheduled with a specialized surgeon to:

  • Assess the necessity of the surgery
  • Propose a personalized surgical strategy
  • Answer all your questions about the procedure, recovery, and expected results

Complete Preoperative Assessment Upon Arrival

Upon your arrival in Turkey, a thorough preoperative evaluation is conducted at the partner clinic. This typically includes:

  • A colonoscopy, if needed
  • An abdominal-pelvic CT scan or MRI
  • Blood tests
  • A pre-anesthesia consultation

This comprehensive check-up helps confirm the indication for surgery, assess your overall health status, and ensure the procedure is carried out safely.

Preparing for Surgery

Before the operation, you'll meet with the medical-surgical team to discuss:

  • The planned type of anesthesia
  • Preoperative dietary recommendations (usually a low-residue or liquid diet in the days leading up to surgery)
  • Possible risks and complications, so you are fully informed

During this preparation period, you should follow a healthy, nutrient-rich diet high in vitamins and protein to promote healing. Quitting smoking is strongly advised, as tobacco significantly increases the risk of postoperative complications.

The day before surgery, you will be asked to perform an antiseptic shower using an antibacterial sponge. On the day of surgery, consuming carbohydrate-rich fluids such as grape juice, iced tea, or clear apple juice—may be recommended to support postoperative recovery.

Proper preparation maximizes the success of the procedure and eases the recovery process. With Turquie Santé, you are supported every step of the way, ensuring a smooth and reassuring medical journey.

Possible side effects after colorectal surgery

Like any surgery, colorectal surgery can lead to certain side effects, which are generally temporary. They vary depending on the patient's overall health, the surgical technique used, and adherence to medical advice.

The most common side effects after colorectal surgery include:

  • Moderate to severe abdominal pain, usually well managed with prescribed painkillers
  • Mild bleeding due to manipulation of blood vessels
  • Bowel movement issues: diarrhea, constipation, or alternating between the two
  • Infections: at the wound site, within the abdomen, or more rarely, systemic
  • Urinary issues or temporary bladder dysfunction
  • Anastomoticleak (leakage at the colon suture site),which may require additional surgery
  • Sexual dysfunction in some patients (especially after low rectal surgery)

In Turkey, complications are rare and well managed thanks to the expertise of surgeons and the responsiveness of medical teams. If any issue arises, everything is done to act promptly and ensure optimal recovery.

If you experience any discomfort or persistent symptoms, contact your doctor immediately. Never take any medication or painkillers without your doctor's approval, especially in the postoperative period. Some treatments may hide important signs or worsen the situation.
