Special Features
Our program offers a broad exposure to colorectal surgery. We have a large population with a wide variety of problems from hemorrhoids to complex distal rectal cancer and IBD. About half of our cases are robotic with the remainder split between laparoscopic and open. There is an excellent anorectal and endoscopic experience as well. We have four faculty members that love to teach. So come to Philly and join us and the Philly Phanatic!!
