UT Southwestern Medical Center physicians take complex medical information about colorectal surgery and cancer and describe it to patients in easy-to-understand terms. In addition, we also offer patients access to educational materials that will help them to learn more about colorectal disorders and why they are candidates for the treatment prescribed.
Patient education can make a significant difference in how patients approach colorectal surgery and cancer. In addition to access to UT Southwestern’s health-care professionals, patients may consult other educational materials to better understand what to expect before, during and after treatment.
