These cancers require precise surgical intervention to remove tumours while preserving quality of life. Dr. Geetha Nagasree, a leading surgical oncologist in Hyderabad, specialises in advanced colon and rectal surgeries, offering personalised care for patients at every stage of treatment.
Colon and Rectal Surgery Procedures

For complex or advanced cancers, open surgery ensures precise tumour removal and thorough lymph node clearance.
3. Rectal Resection & Sphincter Preservation
Surgeries aimed at removing rectal tumours while preserving continence whenever possible.
4. Hartmann’s Procedure / Colostomy
Performed in selected advanced cases to ensure safety and effective tumour management.

For peritoneal involvement, cytoreductive procedures may be combined with advanced therapies such as HIPEC.
