Expert Colorectal Surgeon in Dubai & Sharjah

Colorectal & Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treatment

Dr Arindam Ghosh provides specialist colorectal care for patients with colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS, and complex bowel disorders in Dubai and Sharjah. Whenever possible, minimally invasive colorectal surgery is performed to help patients recover faster, experience less pain, and return to normal daily activities sooner.

Colon Cancer

Colon cancer can develop silently in its early stages, which is why persistent bowel symptoms should never be ignored. Dr Arindam Ghosh specialises in colon cancer surgery in Dubai and Sharjah, offering advanced surgical treatment for cancers affecting the colon and rectum.

Common warning signs may include:

• Blood in stool
• Change in bowel habits
• Unexplained anaemia
• Abdominal bloating
• Ongoing constipation or diarrhoea
• Unintentional weight loss

After diagnosis with colonoscopy and specialised imaging, surgical treatment is carefully planned using minimally invasive colorectal techniques to achieve effective cancer removal and optimal bowel preservation.

Advanced laparoscopic procedures may allow:

• Smaller incisions
• Reduced pain
• Shorter hospital stay
• Faster recovery

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) 

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes chronic conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, which cause inflammation within the digestive tract. These conditions often require long-term specialist management and, in some cases, surgical intervention.

Patients may experience:

• Chronic diarrhoea
• Abdominal pain
• Rectal bleeding
• Fatigue
• Weight loss
• Urgency and bowel frequency

While medical treatment remains the first-line approach, surgery may become necessary for patients with severe disease, bowel narrowing, fistulas, abscesses, or complications affecting quality of life.

Dr Arindam Ghosh offers advanced IBD surgery in Dubai and Sharjah using minimally invasive colorectal techniques wherever appropriate.

Crohn’s Disease Surgery 

Crohn’s disease may affect any part of the digestive tract and can lead to complications that require specialist colorectal surgery. Although many patients respond to medication initially, surgery may become necessary when inflammation causes bowel damage or obstruction.

Dr Arindam Ghosh provides specialised Crohn’s disease surgery for:

• Intestinal strictures
• Bowel obstruction
• Anal fistulas
• Recurrent abscesses
• Severe inflammation
• Failed medical therapy

Minimally invasive surgery may help preserve healthy bowel tissue while improving long-term symptom control and quality of life.

Ulcerative Colitis Surgery 

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the colon and rectum. In patients with severe disease or medically resistant symptoms, surgery may provide definitive treatment and significantly improve quality of life.

Dr Arindam Ghosh offers specialised ulcerative colitis surgery in Dubai and Sharjah, including advanced restorative colorectal procedures.

Surgery may be recommended for:

• Severe uncontrolled inflammation
• Persistent bleeding
• Toxic megacolon
• Increased cancer risk
• Failure of medical treatment

Procedures may include:

• Total colectomy
• Proctocolectomy
• Restorative bowel surgery
• Ileal pouch reconstruction

Each treatment plan is personalised with careful consideration of long-term bowel function, lifestyle, and overall patient wellbeing.

Pouch Surgery in Ulcerative Colitis 

Pouch surgery in ulcerative colitis, also known as ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) or J-pouch surgery, is an advanced reconstructive procedure performed after removal of the colon and rectum.

This procedure creates an internal pouch using the small intestine, allowing many patients to maintain natural bowel function without a permanent stoma.

Benefits of J-pouch surgery may include:

• Improved quality of life
• Elimination of diseased bowel tissue
• Restoration of intestinal continuity
• Reduced need for a permanent ileostomy in suitable patients

Dr Arindam Ghosh performs carefully planned staged pouch surgery depending on disease severity, nutritional status, and overall patient condition.

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) 

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive condition that can cause abdominal discomfort, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, or fluctuating bowel habits. Although IBS and inflammatory bowel disease share some symptoms, they are very different conditions.

Unlike inflammatory bowel disease:

• IBS does not cause chronic intestinal inflammation
• IBS does not increase colon cancer risk
• IBS usually does not require surgery

Inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, involves ongoing inflammation within the digestive tract and may require specialist medical or surgical treatment.

Patients with persistent bowel symptoms, rectal bleeding, unexplained weight loss, or prolonged abdominal pain should undergo specialist colorectal evaluation to rule out more serious underlying disease.

Additional Colorectal Conditions & Procedures

Anal Fistula & Complex Fistula Surgery

Anal fistulas are  connections between the anal canal and surrounding skin and may cause recurrent infection, pain, swelling, or discharge. Complex fistulas can be challenging to treat and often require specialist colorectal surgical expertise to reduce the risk of recurrence while preserving anal sphincter function.

Dr Arindam Ghosh performs advanced fistula procedures including:

• Seton placement
• Fistulotomy
• Fistulectomy
• LIFT procedure
• Sphincter reconstruction and sphincteroplasty

Treatment is carefully planned according to fistula complexity, sphincter involvement, and previous surgical history.

Rectovaginal Fistula Surgery 

Rectovaginal fistula is a complex condition involving an abnormal connection between the rectum and vagina. Surgical treatment requires detailed understanding of pelvic floor anatomy, anal sphincter repair, and reconstructive colorectal techniques.

Dr Arindam Ghosh provides specialised surgical management for rectovaginal fistula, including anal sphincteroplasty and reconstructive procedures for associated anal canal stricture or stenosis.

Careful surgical planning is essential to restore function, reduce recurrence risk, and improve quality of life.

Haemorrhoids (Piles) 

Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen blood vessels within the anal canal that may cause bleeding, discomfort, prolapse, or irritation.

Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and may include:

• Banding procedures
• Sclerotherapy injections
• Stapled haemorrhoid surgery (PPH)
• Open haemorrhoidectomy for large prolapsed piles

Stapled procedures form an important part of minimally invasive haemorrhoid treatment in Dubai and may help reduce recovery time in selected patients.

Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) 

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary condition associated with development of multiple bowel polyps and increased colorectal cancer risk.

Specialist surgical treatment may involve:

• Total proctocolectomy
• Ileoanal pouch reconstruction
• Restorative bowel surgery

Early diagnosis and long-term surveillance are important in reducing future cancer risk and preserving bowel function.

Hirschsprung’s Disease (Congenital Megacolon) 

Hirschsprung’s disease is a congenital condition affecting nerve supply to the lower bowel, leading to severe constipation and bowel obstruction from early childhood.

Dr Arindam Ghosh performs advanced surgical treatment for Hirschsprung’s disease, including laparoscopic modified Duhamel procedures designed to restore bowel function and improve long-term outcomes.

Patients often look for specialist colorectal care that combines surgical expertise with clear guidance and personalised support. Dr Arindam Ghosh provides advanced colorectal treatment using modern minimally invasive techniques for patients across Dubai and Sharjah.
