Revolutionary Colorectal Surgery

When it comes to your care, we want you to have options. That’s why our surgeons, providers, researchers and all caregivers are continually pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, to offer you the best care for your whole-person health.

The colorectal surgery team is no different. Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) is a revolutionary procedure pioneered right here at AdventHealth. Designed to remove polyps and early cancers in the rectum, the procedure offers countless benefits, including faster recovery, less pain and fewer complications.

Previously, patients who needed cancerous growths or polyps removed may have needed their entire rectums removed through significant pelvic or abdominal surgery. Now, TAMIS, a procedure adopted around the world, is giving patients new hope.

Our team is also one of the few in Central Florida that performs transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME). This innovative approach allows your surgeon to remove lower rectal tumors with a smaller incision. And, the AdventHealth Digestive Health Institute is honored to share our experience with other physicians as one of the few North American training centers for taTME.
