Colorectal Surgery in Lucknow
The colon and rectum demand a surgeon who combines cancer expertise with a deep respect for bowel function and continence. Dr Sandeep Kumar Verma offers the full range of colorectal surgery in Lucknow, from major laparoscopic cancer resections to day-care treatment of piles and fissures.
Wherever possible, operations are sphincter-preserving and laparoscopic — protecting your quality of life as well as treating the disease.
In short
Colorectal surgery in Lucknow is performed by Dr Sandeep Kumar Verma at Medanta, Lucknow. An MCh surgical gastroenterologist, he treats colon and rectal cancer, diverticular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, piles, fissures and fistulas — using laparoscopic and robotic techniques, including sphincter-preserving surgery where appropriate.
Conditions treated
Dr Verma manages both benign and malignant colorectal conditions, tailoring each operation to preserve normal bowel function.
- Colon and rectal cancer — laparoscopic colectomy and sphincter-saving rectal resection
- Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis)
- Diverticular disease and its complications
- Rectal prolapse
- Piles (haemorrhoids), anal fissure and fistula-in-ano
Sphincter and continence preservation
For rectal cancers in particular, advances in surgical technique mean that many patients who would once have needed a permanent stoma (bag) can now keep normal bowel continuity. Dr Verma prioritises sphincter-preserving surgery whenever it is oncologically safe, restoring both health and dignity.
Minimally invasive day-care proctology
Common anorectal problems — piles, fissures and fistulas — are treated with modern, minimally invasive techniques that mean less pain and a faster return to work, often as day-care procedures.

Colorectal Surgery: common questions
Will I need a permanent stoma (bag) for rectal cancer?
In most cases, no. Modern sphincter-preserving techniques allow many rectal cancer patients to avoid a permanent stoma. Sometimes a temporary stoma is used to protect a new join while it heals, and is reversed later. Dr Verma will explain exactly what your situation requires.
Are piles and fissures treated surgically?
Many cases settle with medication and lifestyle measures. When surgery is needed, modern minimally invasive procedures treat piles, fissures and fistulas with less pain and a quick recovery, usually as day-care surgery.
Is laparoscopic bowel surgery as effective as open surgery?
Yes. For colorectal cancer, laparoscopic surgery gives equivalent cancer outcomes to open surgery, with the added benefits of smaller incisions, less pain and faster recovery, when performed by an experienced colorectal surgeon.
