๐——๐—ฟ ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ž๐—ผ๐—ต is a dedicated colore**al surgeon committed to the early detection and prevention of colore**al cancer. With a patient-centred approach and a strong focus on minimally invasive techniques, she provides comprehensive care for a wide range of colore**al conditions, including polyps, colore**al cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and anore**al disorders.

Recognising the rising incidence of colore**al cancer in younger adults in their 40s, Dr Koh actively advocates for timely colonoscopic evaluation in patients under 45 who present with symptoms such as re**al bleeding, persistent changes in bowel habits, iron deficiency anaemia, abdominal pain, or a family history of colore**al cancer. She believes that early investigation saves lives and that a colonoscopy is not just a diagnostic tool, but a powerful preventive procedure.

A colonoscopy enables the detection and removal of precancerous polyps before they progress to cancer. In younger patients, early assessment can provide reassurance, clarify diagnoses, and establish appropriate surveillance plans for the future.

Dr Koh is committed to delivering safe, thorough, and high-quality colonoscopy with a focus on patient comfort and education. Her practice emphasises evidence-based care, early intervention, and personalised risk assessment to ensure the best long-term outcomes for her patients.

Despite being one of the most common cancers in Singapore, colore**al cancer remains largely preventable.

A colonoscopy is an effective screening for colore**al cancer, which examines the lining of the colon for abnormalities. If benign polyps are detected, they can be removed promptly before they become malignant.

If you are aged 50 and above, it is advisable to get screened once every 10 years.

If you are fairly young but experiencing symptoms such as blood in stools, change in bowel habits, abdominal pain, unexplained loss of weight, or with a family history of colore**al cancer, it is recommended to undergo timely screening.

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition in which the lining of the large intestine and re**um becomes inflamed and ulcerated.

Symptoms of ulcerative colitis will likely come and go, with frequent periods of flare-ups.

To keep ulcerative colitis under control, appropriate management strategies such as medications and colon surgery can help reduce inflammation and prevent further complications of bowel perforation and colon cancer.

Should you be experiencing symptoms of ulcerative colitis, reach out for treatment from our experienced colore**al specialists. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ

Usually a result of an infection or blockage in the a**l glands, an a**l abscess is a collection of pus-filled sacs that form around the a**s.

This condition tends to present with persistent pain, redness and swelling near the a**s, along with discharge of pus or blood.

To relieve the pain and discomfort caused by a**l abscesses, surgical drainage remains the most effective way. This involves draining the pus to relieve pressure and allow for tissue healing.

Our team of colore**al surgeons is skilled in the surgical drainage of a**l abscesses; call ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ for effective relief today.

Hernias are abnormal protrusions in the abdominal or groin area that occur when organs or fatty tissues push through a weakened spot in the abdominal wall.

As hernias rarely resolve on their own and may become obstructed or strangulated if left unmanaged, this further underlines the importance of prompt surgical treatment to prevent serious complications from occurring.

Should symptoms of a hernia occur (e.g. a visible bulge under the skin, pain and discomfort), consult a colore**al specialist for prompt treatment. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ

An a**l fistula is a small tunnel that forms between the skin around the a**s and the a**l ca**l, usually due to a previous a**l abscess formation.

Although a**l fistulas are not dangerous, they can cause intense pain and lead to serious complications like recurrent infections and a**l abscesses if left untreated.

That said, with proper diagnosis by an experienced colore**al specialist, the exact cause and severity of the a**l fistula can be determined, allowing for a personalised treatment plan to be formulated.

To diagnose an a**l fistula, diagnostic tests may include:

๐Ÿฏ. ๐—”๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ: Examines the a**l walls and re**um for abnormalities

๐Ÿฐ. ๐—œ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐˜€: Evaluates the entire length of the fistula tract and its interaction with the sphincter muscles and surrounding tissues

While stress does not directly cause Crohnโ€™s disease, it can still exacerbate symptoms and trigger flare-ups.

When stress levels rise, this can increase inflammation in the gut and disrupt the balance between the good and bad bacteria, causing symptoms to flare up or worsen.

For those with Crohnโ€™s disease, this can mean chronic abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss and blood in stoolโ€•symptoms that can greatly hinder quality of life.

If you are struggling with persistent flare-ups, consult with a colore**al specialist for advice on managing Crohn's disease effectively. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ

Colore**al cancer is the cancer of the large intestine that often develops from benign polyps on the colon or re**um wall that turn cancerous over time.

Surgery is usually the treatment of choice for colore**al cancer, though options will depend on the stage and severity of the disease.

Colore**al cancer surgery may be performed using:

โ€ข ๐—ข๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜†
A traditional method that involves making a large incision in the abdomen to access the colon or re**um. Often performed for complex cases.

โ€ข ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜†
A minimally invasive alternative that uses small incisions, microsurgical instruments and a tiny camera to remove the tumour. Generally preferred in suitable cases for less postoperative pain, smaller scars and faster recovery.

โ€ข ๐—ฅ๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜†
An advanced form of minimally invasive surgery where the surgeon controls robotic arms from a console, with 3D imaging that enhances precision, flexibility and control.

Colore**al Practice offers various forms of colore**al cancer surgeryโ€•including open, laparoscopic and advanced robotic approaches. For more information, visit www.colore**alcancertreatment.sg
