The consultation includes a review of your colonoscopy findings, imaging, and pathology reports. The surgeon will perform a focused exam (which may include a rectal exam). They will explain the surgical options, including whether minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) approaches are appropriate, expected outcomes, and recovery timeline. For cancer cases, they coordinate with oncologists for a comprehensive treatment plan.

Your gastroenterologist or PCP will typically make the referral.
