Texas Colon & Rectal Specialists is a specialty division within Texas Oncology, offering colon and rectal treatment for cancerous and non-cancerous conditions.
Colon and rectal surgery treats conditions of the colon, rectum, and anus. The rectum and colon are parts of the body’s digestive system. Together, with the anal canal and anus, they form a long, muscular tube called the large intestine.
The colon makes up the first six feet of the large intestine, and the rectum and anal form the last several inches. Although cancers of the colon and rectum are often referred to jointly as “colorectal cancer,” their treatments differ greatly. When you seek care with us, you can expect a personalized care plan, a dedicated team alongside you, and the latest advancements in cancer treatment, all designed to support you.
With physicians and locations across the state, our patients receive world-class care close to home.

Modern advancements in colorectal care have enabled less invasive and more precise procedures. At Texas Colon & Rectal Specialists, we embrace these innovations to provide care with greater accuracy, fewer complications, and faster recovery times. Our specialists perform a wide range of colorectal procedures using leading-edge technologies, including:
Colonoscopy: A diagnostic procedure in which a physician examines the lining of the rectum and colon using a flexible tube equipped with a camera and light. This allows for early detection and treatment of colorectal conditions, including polyps and cancer.
Sigmoidoscopy: A shorter version of a colonoscopy that focuses on the lower part of the large intestine. It is often used for screening and diagnosing localized colorectal issues.
Endoscopic Polypectomy: A minimally invasive technique used to remove polyps (abnormal tissue growth) using an endoscopy, a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera at the end. This procedure helps prevent polyps from developing into colorectal cancer.
Laparoscopic Colectomy: A surgical procedure to remove part or all of the colon affected by cancer or other conditions. It involves small incisions and the use of a camera-guided instrument, resulting in less pain and quicker recovery.
Da Vinci® Robotic-Assisted Colorectal Surgery: A robotic-assisted technique that enhances precision during complex colorectal procedures. It allows for smaller incisions, reduced pain, and faster healing.
Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery (TEMS): A specialized procedure for removing rectal polyps or early-stage tumors through the anus, avoiding abdominal incisions and promoting faster recovery.
