Colorectal Surgery Claims

If you or a loved one have suffered injury because of negligent colorectal surgery, you may be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation.

Colorectal Surgery Compensation Claims

This specialist field of medicine deals with surgical and non-surgical treatment of diseases of the colon, rectum and anus. The Colon is also known as the large bowel or large intestine and forms part of the digestive system.

Common examples of diseases and conditions of the colon include:

  • Colorectal (bowel) Cancer
  • Crohn’s Disease
  • Ulcerative Colitis

Such conditions can often be very embarrassing for individuals and the surgical techniques and treatment involved often highly technical and very complex.

Our friendly and professional team of specialist medical negligence solicitors have successfully recovered damages for individuals who have suffered injury as a result of negligent colorectal surgery.
