They provide expert care, education and guidance on managing ostomies, helping you adapt to a new lifestyle and achieve the best possible outcomes.

Decades of experience

Mayo Clinic surgeons have extensive experience in the latest techniques and regularly perform both routine and highly complex procedures for conditions affecting the digestive system, including colon or rectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, and many other conditions. Working in a high-volume practice, our teams are leading the way in surgical skill and evaluation for surgical options as part of a broader care plan.
