At Colorectal SA we pride ourselves on providing the highest standard of patient-centered care for colorectal conditions.
As a practice you can have comfort in the knowledge that all specialists and staff have annual influenza immunisations and have all been double immunised against Covid-19. Our six colorectal specialists: Andrew Hunter, Matthew Lawrence, Mark Lewis, Michelle Thomas, Tarik Sammour, and Ryash Vather are all accredited by the Colorectal Surgical Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSSANZ) and are Fellows of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS). They also all have substantive public hospital appointments at the Colorectal Unit of The Royal Adelaide Hospital, working closely together across locations to create a highly collegiate environment at both sites. |
Having trained and worked in the world's foremost colorectal specialist centers, you can be confident in our surgeons' ability to provide the highest level of skill, knowledge and expertise in caring for your colorectal health. Their close affiliation with the University of Adelaide, the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI), and UniSA's Centre for Cancer Biology fosters a vibrant academic environment that informs practice and allows access to cutting edge research and technology to improve patient care.
The practice offers a comprehensive range of outpatient, day-stay and inpatient investigations and treatment using the state of the art facilities of St Andrews Hospital. This includes minimally invasive and robotic surgery where this is indicated and appropriate. One of the six specialists is always on call for the patients of the practice. Your surgery will be carried out by the surgeon to whom you have been referred, often assisted by one of the other surgeons from the practice, and your post-operative care coordinated by your surgeon. When your chosen doctor is away or not available, you will be looked after by the designated on-call colorectal specialist who has full access to all the necessary information and services to properly care for you. If you would like to meet the other surgeons prior to your surgery or if you have any other questions or concerns regarding these arrangements please discuss this with your surgeon or the reception staff.
Emergency appointments are always available, and positive results from the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program are dealt with promptly with expedited consultation and colonoscopy. Uninsured patients can be cared for at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, while insured and uninsured country patients are cared for at Naracoorte, Bordertown, Mt Barker and Stirling hospitals.
