Rectal resection in Assuta Medical Center
About the clinic
Rectal resection at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv, Israel, provides advanced surgical care for colorectal conditions. This procedure involves removing part of the rectum using modern techniques like the da Vinci robotic system. Patients benefit from the clinic's high safety standards, as it was the first hospital in Israel to receive JCI accreditation.
Advanced Surgical Methods
Surgeons at the hospital offer three primary approaches for rectal resection. They choose the method based on the patient's specific health needs and the location of the tumor. These methods include:
- Robot-assisted surgery using the da Vinci system for high precision and smaller incisions.
- Laparoscopic surgery, which is a minimally invasive technique that helps speed up recovery.
- Open surgery, used for complex cases that require direct access to the pelvic area.
The use of robotic technology helps reduce trauma to the body. This often leads to shorter hospital stays and a faster return to daily activities.
Specialized Surgical Team
The colorectal department is led by highly trained specialists. Dr. Avraham Reshef is a general surgeon who completed training at Mount Sinai in New York and the Cleveland Clinic. He is an active member of the Israeli Society of Colon and Rectum Surgery. Prof. Boris Kirshtein also serves the department. He completed a colorectal fellowship at Sloan Kettering in New York and holds the title of Clinical Associate Professor. Additionally, Dr. Ilia Pinsk provides surgical expertise following a residency at Soroka Medical Center. These doctors work together in multidisciplinary teams to coordinate every step of the treatment.
Diagnosis and Care Standards
Accurate planning starts with advanced imaging. The clinic provides CT, MRI, and PET-CT scans, which are usually completed within one to three days. This fast diagnostic process helps the surgical team create a personalized plan quickly. As a JCI-accredited facility, Assuta Medical Center follows strict international protocols for patient safety and hygiene. The multidisciplinary approach means specialists from different fields review each case to choose the most effective treatment path.
