Surgeons at Summit Surgical treat a wide variety of colon and rectal conditions, from appendicitis, diverticulitis, polyps and cancers, to inflammatory bowel disease, trauma and torsions. Many of our cases are done with minimally invasive techniques, using a thin camera and instruments. We also treat hemorrhoids, fissures, abscesses and other anorectal problems. We work closely with gastroenterologists in the Eugene-Springfield area to come up with a comprehensive treatment plan for each patient.

High Resolution Anoscopy for evaluation and treatment of precancerous anal squamous lesions and enhances preventive care especially for the HIV positive population.
What is high-resolution anoscopy?
High-resolution anoscopy is anoscopy with magnification. In addition to the anoscope, which helps keep the anus open, a doctor uses another device called a colposcope. A colposcope is a high-resolution mobile microscope connected to a monitor. A doctor uses this colposcope to closely examine suspicious areas in the anal canal through the anoscope. This procedure is very similar to colposcopy that examines the cervix.
What is anoscopy?
Anoscopy is an examination of the anal canal and rectum with an anoscope to help diagnose anal and rectal conditions. An anoscope is a small-diameter plastic or metal hollow tube (slightly wider than a finger) with an insert called an obturator. The device is about 5 inches long.
