The US Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) released updated recommendations as of May 2021 that encourages all individuals over the age of 45 to undergo colonoscopy as part of routine screening for colon and rectal cancer. This is covered by most insurance policies. Please call today to schedule your colonoscopy with Dr. Pemmaraju. We are typically able to provide you with a procedure date within a few weeks of your call. No prior appointment is needed for routine screening.
A new study published in the World Journal of Surgical Oncology demonstrates that robotic surgery resulted in lower rates of complications and shorter hospital stays than laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer resection. Dr. Pemmaraju has extensive training and experience in the DaVinci robotic system and gladly offers this method in the appropriate settings. To find out if you are a good candidate for a robotic colon resection, please call to schedule an appointment today.
