Reoperative Surgery

With complex colon and rectal disorders, reoperative surgery is sometimes necessary. Reoperative surgery is a repeat operation for the same condition if the disease advances or recurs, or as follow-up to a previous surgery.

At Weill Cornell Medicine, our team of colon and rectal surgeons are specialists in reoperative surgery and often perform complex operations. Our goal with reoperative surgeries is to maximize your health outcomes and minimize complications in these challenging cases.
