Colorectal Services
The Colorectal Center at Broward Health Coral Springs provides advanced surgical care with precision, compassion and the latest technology.
Expert Care for Colon and Rectal Conditions
Many adults experience bowel control issues, and about half develop hemorrhoids by age 50. These conditions can affect your comfort, confidence and overall quality of life—and in some cases, may signal a higher risk for colon cancer.
Our board-certified colorectal specialists provide both surgical and non-surgical care for benign and malignant conditions of the colon and rectum. We focus on accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment and ongoing support to help patients find relief and return to everyday activities with confidence.

Colorectal Procedures
Our team offers minimally invasive options designed to reduce pain, speed recovery and help you return to daily life sooner.
Procedure for Prolapsed Hemorrhoids (PPH)
The minimally invasive PPH technique is typically less painful than traditional surgery and shrinks hemorrhoids quickly. The procedure takes about 25–30 minutes. Most patients go home within 1–2 hours, feel some discomfort for a few days and can return to work within a week.
Ostomy Program
An ostomy creates a surgically made opening to help the body pass waste. Our program provides pre- and post-operative support so you can live a full, active life after surgery. Services include:
- Assessment and evaluation
- Care for complex or difficult stomas
- Physician consultation as needed
- Dietary guidance
- Individualized rehabilitation
- Ostomy support group
- Selection of pouching systems
- Skin protection and maintenance
- Stoma site marking
- Teaching and counseling
Robotic Surgeries
