What is the difference between a Colorectal Surgeon and a Bariatrics Surgeon?
Question:
Answers:
KEVIN,
THE FIRST ANSWER IS PARTIALLY RIGHT , BUT NOT FULLY. A COLO-RECTAL SURGEON IS A SURGEON WHO SPECIALIZES IN SURGERY WHERE THE COLON AND OR RECTUM NEEDS TO BE OPERATED. THE MOST COMMON REASON IS COLO-RECTAL CANCER.
A BARIATRIC SURGEON DEALS WITH SURGERY USING SURGICAL ENDOSCOPES TO MAKE THE STOMACH SMALLER AND AID IN WEIGHT LOSS.
BOTH ARE HIGHLY SPECIAL SURGERIES AND REQUIRE HIGH TRAINING.
bariatric is weight loss - colorectal is the back door man
A bariatric surgeon works on the upper end of the intestines including the stomach and the colorectal surgeon works on the bottom end of the intestines. I had a bariatric surgeon for gastric bypass and my friend who has colon cancer has been worked on by a colorectal surgeon.
colorectal is for the bottom area (butt) and bariatrics is for stomach area
