Colon and rectal surgery is one of the oldest recognized specialties. Writings dating as early as 1250 B.C. dealt with anorectal diseases and indicate there were practitioners devoted to this specialty. The beginning of modern colorectal surgery began in England in 1835, when Frederick Salmon decided to found his own institution named the “Infirmary for the Relief of the Poor afflicted with Fistula and other Diseases of the Rectum,” which was later on expanded as the St. Mark’s Hospital, London on 25 April 1854.
In India, the concept of Colorectal Surgery as a separate specialty was realized 50 years back by Dr. R. K. Menda. By his efforts, the Association of Colon and Rectal Surgeons of India (ACRSI) was ultimately formed in 1977. Colorectal surgery needs to be recognized as a separate super specialty in our country in order to achieve better outcomes for both benign and malignant colorectal diseases.
Advances in surgical techniques in colorectal surgery and a different therapeutic approach to the process by healthcare staff have led to the emergence of techniques aimed at reducing hospitalization time, known as early or multimodal rehabilitation, which propose a different global strategy with the aim of reducing morbidity and mortality, shortening hospital stays, and improving the quality of life of these patients. There is enough scientific evidence to prove that patients suffering from colorectal diseases and managed by colorectal surgeons have better outcomes than those operated by general surgeons.
