COLON CANCER SURGERY OPTIONS
Colon cancer surgery is often the primary treatment for colon cancer. During surgery, Dr. Astha Bhatt removes the cancerous section of the colon along with nearby lymph nodes when appropriate. The goal is to safely remove the tumor, evaluate the lymph nodes, and restore bowel continuity whenever possible using robotic, laparoscopic, or open surgery based on the patient’s diagnosis and safety needs.
Dr. Bhatt provides individualized surgical planning for patients with colon cancer found on colonoscopy, right colon cancer, sigmoid colon cancer, malignant colon polyps, and colon masses requiring colectomy or colon resection. Her training includes minimally invasive and robotic colon and rectal surgery, and she serves patients throughout Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, and South Florida
Colon Resection for Right or Left Colon Cancer
A hemicolectomy removes the right or left side of the colon when cancer is located in that section of the bowel. This may be recommended for right colon cancer, cecal cancer, ascending colon cancer, descending colon cancer, or selected transverse colon cancers. Nearby lymph nodes are also removed and reviewed by pathology to help guide the next steps in treatment.
Best for patients with: right-sided colon cancer, left-sided colon cancer, cecal cancer, ascending colon cancer, or descending colon cancer.
Surgery for Sigmoid Colon Cancer
A sigmoid colectomy removes the sigmoid colon, which is the lower part of the colon that connects toward the rectum. This surgery may be recommended for sigmoid colon cancer, cancerous polyps, or tumors found during colonoscopy. When safe, the remaining colon is reconnected to support normal bowel function after recovery.
Best for patients with: sigmoid colon cancer, cancerous sigmoid polyps, or a colon mass found in the lower colon during colonoscopy.
Advanced Colon Cancer Surgery Options
For appropriate patients, colon cancer surgery may be performed using robotic or laparoscopic techniques through smaller incisions. Minimally invasive colon cancer surgery may help reduce pain, support earlier bowel recovery, and shorten hospital stay compared with traditional open surgery. Open surgery may still be needed in complex, urgent, or advanced cases when it is the safer option.
Best for patients with: localized colon cancer who are medically appropriate candidates for robotic or laparoscopic colon resection.
Selected Cases Requiring Full Colon Removal
A total colectomy removes the entire colon and is reserved for specific situations, such as multiple colon cancers, extensive polyp disease, selected genetic cancer syndromes, or other complex conditions. Dr. Bhatt reviews each patient’s diagnosis, imaging, colonoscopy findings, and overall health before recommending this option.
Best for patients with: multiple colon tumors, extensive colon polyp disease, selected hereditary cancer syndromes, or complex disease involving most of the colon.

Hemorrhoid and piles symptoms can include rectal bleeding, anal pain or pressure, swelling near the anus, itching, irritation, prolapse, and discomfort with bowel movements. Because anal fissures, polyps, inflammation, and other colorectal conditions can cause similar symptoms, a specialist evaluation helps confirm the diagnosis and guide the right treatment plan. Patients across Broward County benefit from expert care with a Hemorrhoid Specialist in Broward County.
No. Many patients improve with conservative care, office-based hemorrhoid treatment, or rubber band ligation. Hemorrhoid surgery may be recommended for severe, recurring, external, prolapsing, or combined internal and external hemorrhoids after specialist evaluation. ASCRS guidance supports office-based treatments for many grade I–II internal hemorrhoids and selected grade III hemorrhoids, while excisional hemorrhoidectomy is typically used for selected external or grade III–IV combined disease.
Hemorrhoid treatment options may include dietary and bowel habit changes, topical or medication guidance, office-based treatment, rubber band ligation, minimally invasive procedures, transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization, hemorrhoidectomy, or surgical hemorrhoid removal when appropriate. The right option depends on the type, grade, symptoms, and examination findings.
You should schedule a hemorrhoid evaluation if you have rectal bleeding, anal pain or pressure, swelling, itching, irritation, prolapse, persistent discomfort, or symptoms that are not improving with home care. A specialist evaluation helps confirm whether symptoms are from hemorrhoids or another anorectal condition.
Hemorrhoids can have symptoms similar to anal fissures, fistulas, skin tags, inflammation, polyps, and other colorectal concerns. A colorectal evaluation helps confirm the diagnosis and guide the right hemorrhoid treatment plan, especially when symptoms include bleeding, prolapse, persistent pain, or a change in bowel habits.
Rubber band ligation is an office-based treatment for selected internal hemorrhoids. A small band is placed above the sensitive anal canal to reduce blood flow to the hemorrhoid tissue, allowing it to shrink over time. It is commonly used for grade I–II internal hemorrhoids and selected grade III internal hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoidectomy may be recommended for severe, recurring, external, prolapsing, or combined internal and external hemorrhoids, especially when office-based treatment is not appropriate or has not provided enough relief. It is a surgical hemorrhoid removal option designed for selected patients after a colorectal specialist evaluation.
Transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization, also called THD or hemorrhoidal artery ligation, is a minimally invasive procedure for selected internal hemorrhoids. It reduces blood flow to hemorrhoid tissue and may reposition prolapsing tissue when appropriate. ASCRS notes that Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation may be used for internal hemorrhoids, with benefits and recurrence risks reviewed during consultation.
