Band-aid colon surgery is a revolutionary colorectal surgical technique pioneered and perfected by Dr. David Blumberg, a Board Certified General and Colorectal Surgeon while in the Department of Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Most colon operations are performed either via a full length abdominal incision open colectomy or an incision half the length of the abdomen. They have shown that our approach assures successful treatment of patients' illnesses while minimizing the trauma of traditional surgery. Because of these beneficial quality-of-life effects, laparoscopic colectomy and colon surgery is becoming a new standard for most colon diseases including polyps, colon cancer, rectal cancer, ulcerative colitis, Crohns disease, rectal prolapse and diverticulitis.
