Colorectal surgery is commonly performed to treat a variety of conditions affecting the colon and rectum, including colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and diverticulitis. Each year, over 104,000 new cases of colon cancer and 43,000 cases of rectal cancer are diagnosed in the United States according to American Cancer Society, with similar statistics in Europe. These surgeries are crucial for improving health and survival rates, offering hope for those battling these diseases.
Colorectal surgery plays a vital role in the treatment of colorectal cancer, one of the most common cancers in both the U.S. and Europe. When detected early, colorectal surgery significantly improves survival chances. For example, patients with localized colon cancer have a five-year survival rate of around 90%, showing just how impactful surgery can be according to American Cancer Society.
While surgery is a key component in treating colorectal conditions, recovery can be challenging. Many patients face extended hospital stays, complications like anastomotic leakage, and the potential need for a temporary ostomy — a procedure that involves creating a stoma to divert waste from the colon. Unfortunately, ostomy complications affect up to 50% of patients and can disrupt daily life long after the procedure.
At Averto Medical, we are committed to providing solutions that make your recovery easier, faster, and less stressful. Our innovative ColoSeal ICD Device helps support the healing process after colorectal surgery by protecting the surgical site and preventing complications like anastomotic leakage. Unlike traditional methods, which often require ostomy surgery, the ColoSeal ICD Device allows you to recover without the need for additional, invasive procedures.
The ColoSeal ICD Device works by creating a secure, airtight seal around the surgical connection in your colon. This helps prevent waste from leaking out while promoting faster healing. It’s easy to insert and remove, minimizing the need for further surgery and allowing you to focus on your recovery.
