Diagnostics

At the University Hospital for Surgery Salzburg, we ensure a painless diagnosis of rectal cancer with the help of the "gentle colonoscopy": Through a premedication (short anesthesia) the patients feel the Colonoscopy hardly.

In the case of tumors that affect the rectum, our clinic performs a supplementary Magnetic resonance imaging as well as a endoluminal ultrasound. Special Tumor marker in the blood are used to monitor the progress and determine the success of the therapy.

The elective doctor is there for his patient.

Colorectal cancer treatment

In the case of carcinomas affecting the rectum, depending on the size extension of the tumor, a Pretreatment with a combination of Radiation and chemotherapy with subsequent Operation to the optimal success of the therapy.

For all surgical procedures, we use the tissue-conserving minimally invasive method on. This means less wound pain, smaller scars and faster recovery. Whenever possible, we will try to use a side exit (anus preter = Stoma) to avoid.
