Dr. Rajeev Kapoor has received specialized
training in colorectal surgery from
Flinders
Medical Centre, Adelaide, Australia,
where he worked for two years as a senior fellow in a specialized
colorectal unit. While he was there, he received extensive experience in
management of intestinal, colonic and rectal cancer, surgical management
of fecal incontenace and rectal prolapse.
He also specializes in surgical treatment
of ulcerative colitis like total proctocolectomy and ileal pouch with a
ileoanal anastamosis (artificial rectum). He also specializes in
treating other colorectal problems.
He has also been accredited by the
Gastroeneterological society of Australia (GESA)
to perform diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopies. While helpful in
diagnosing diseases of the colon and rectum, colonoscopy is a very
useful tool for follow-up of cancer, removing polyps, taking biopsies
and coagulating bleeding vessels.
