Our Medical Services & Treatments
Colorectal Cancer Management
Complete cancer care from screening and diagnosis through surgical resection, chemotherapy coordination, and long-term surveillance. Laparoscopic resections (right/left hemicolectomy, anterior resection, APR) reduce recovery time. All cases reviewed by our multidisciplinary tumor board.
IBD Treatment
Medical and surgical management of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. We coordinate with gastroenterologists for optimized biologic therapy, and offer surgical options including strictureplasty, bowel resection, and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) when medical management is insufficient.
Pelvic Floor Disorders
Evaluation and treatment of rectal prolapse, rectocele, obstructed defecation syndrome, and fecal incontinence. We use anorectal manometry and defecography for precise diagnosis, followed by targeted surgical repair including ventral mesh rectopexy and sphincter repair.
Proctology -- Piles, Fissures & Fistulas
Full range of treatment from conservative management to advanced procedures: rubber band ligation, stapled hemorrhoidopexy (MIPH), HAL-RAR for hemorrhoids; lateral internal sphincterotomy for fissures; fistulotomy, LIFT procedure, and advancement flaps for complex anal fistulas.
Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery
Minimally invasive approach to colorectal resections that reduces pain, hospital stay, and recovery time compared with open surgery. Dr. Akulwar's UK training includes extensive laparoscopic experience, ensuring precise oncological resection margins through small incisions.

Consultations are conducted privately by our specialist doctor team, and our healthcare professionals explain every treatment procedure in plain language so patients can make informed decisions.
For colorectal cancer, our strength is multidisciplinary care.

This collaborative approach has been shown to improve survival outcomes and reduce treatment complications.
