Take care about the health of every part of your body
Colon (large intestine)
The colon is an important organ of the digestive system and is responsible for the body’s absorption of minerals and water. Moreover, the colon is responsible for finishing the digestion process by transferring waste to the rectum in order to expel these wastes from the body.
Rectum
The rectum is another essential organ of the digestive system, located between the colon and the anus, the last room of waste before it is removed from the body. The colon sends signals to the brain with waste and feces in the rectum and should be disposed of. The rectum is able to store these wastes safely so you can get rid of them.

Patient admission and preoperative procedures
After a thorough diagnosis and clinical evaluation of the patient, surgical intervention may be required. If the patient is not an emergency, he or she will be referred to the patient admission and anesthesia evaluation department. Prior to surgery, an anesthesiologist at Al Kindi Hospital makes sure you are eligible for surgery and answers all the patient’s questions carefully.
Preparing for colorectal surgery
Once your doctor decides that you need surgery, you will be provided with a thorough explanation of the instructions you should perform in preparation for surgery.
You should stick to your food and fluids cessation time, and generally stop eating 8 hours before the operation and stop drinking fluids two hours in advance.
Diseases that are treated in this unit
The Colorectal Surgery Unit at Al kindi Hospital provides treatment services for all colorectal diseases such as:
Colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in men and women, especially over the age of 50. The department offers modern surgical options with minimally invasive surgery to treat colorectal cancer and reduce the time needed to recover after surgery.
We treat these conditions with a sophisticated multidisciplinary methodology and under the supervision of a team of surgeons, oncologists, medical radiologists and anaesthesia teams to determine the best treatment options for each patient.
We believe that early detection of cancer is half the treatment, so we seek to use the best diagnostic methods of the disease no matter how simple symptoms may be.
Ulcerative colitis
Ulcerative colitis (or Crohn’s disease) is a disease of bowel inflammation that causes ulcers in the digestive tract. Ulcerative colitis affects the inner lining of the colon and rectum.
Ulcerative colitis can be very painful and can lead to life-threatening complications. Although the disease has no specific treatment, 30% of ulcerative colitis cases require surgical intervention due to a range of symptoms such as bleeding or the possibility of cancer. Treatment can help significantly reduce pain and symptoms. Colectomy is the only option if these symptoms are serious.
Al Kindi Hospital is one of the leading hospitals in the treatment of inflammatory colon disorders with state-of-the-art endoscopic medical ways and minimally invasive surgical interventions.
fissure, fistula and hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are swelling of veins or blood vessels in and around the anus and lower rectum. Hemorrhoids, fissures and fistulas are diseases that cause a lot of pain and discomfort to the patient.
These pathological problems are very common in both men and women, as about half of people can develop hemorrhoids by the age of 50.
Our department is characterized by surgical techniques that treat these conditions without causing incontinence to the patient and without the need to stay in the hospital.
The choice of type of treatment depends on the doctor’s assessment of many factors such as: the patient’s age and overall health, the severity and intensity of the disease, the type of hemorrhoids, whether internally or externally or both.
Diverticulitis
Diverticulitis causes small pockets to form on the colon, and this condition may require surgical intervention to remove part of the colon and prevent recurrence of the condition. This procedure is often performed through the smallest possible wounds (limited intervention surgery) to speed up the healing period.
Rectal prolapse (rectum drooping)
Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum is repeatedly stretched, causing it to become clogged when the stool passes or the rectum clearly falls during defecation. The treatment method (whether through surgery or endoscopy) is chosen based on the patient’s age, state of health, and degree of rectal prolapse.
Recovery after colorectal surgery
Depending on the type of surgery performed, you can leave the hospital on the same day after confirming your stable, or stay in the hospital until you recover. The nursing team at Al Kindi Hospital is ready to assist patients throughout the care of abdominal injuries, diligent follow-up and even recovery.
We take care of you until you reach the best stages of recovery.
Trust our surgical and nursing team at Al Kindi Hospital to take precise steps to take care of you and follow up even after surgery. Colorectal surgeons, nurses and anaesthetists follow optimal postoperative recovery procedures, including:
- Provide the patient and his family with all the information they need before treatment.
- Use the appropriate type of pain killers as needed by the patient and the type of surgery he has undergone.
- Help the patient move and return to eat again as soon as possible after surgery.
- Provide clear instructions for health care at home.
- Scheduling follow-up appointments to check on the patient’s health
- After surgery you will need to give your body time to heal and recover, and our medical team will discuss with you the diet that suits you until the intestines return to normal, and the activities you should avoid after the procedure.
