Colorectal Surgery Fellowship
Surgery Fellowship in the Diseases of the Colon, Rectum and Anus
Affiliated with Harvard Medical School, the Division of Colorectal Surgery at BIDMC offers a 12-month ACGME-Accredited Colon and Rectal Surgery Fellowship. During their tenure the fellow will be exposed to the full range of diseases of the colon, rectum and anus. The division has a strong interest in inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. Our Rectal Cancer Program, the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center and the Pelvic Floor Program are some of the highest volume programs in the region.
The majority of the abdominal cases are performed with minimally invasive access (standard laparoscopy, single site laparoscopy, robotic surgery) and for selective rectal cases Transanal Endoscopic Micro Surgery (TEMS), Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS) and Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision are used.
