At NMC Specialty Hospital Al Salam, Low Anterior Resection is performed using specialized colorectal surgical techniques and comprehensive cancer staging and preoperative assessment. Established in 1999, this CBAHI accredited hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has 100 beds and offers advanced colorectal surgery, minimally invasive procedures, gastroenterology, and surgical oncology services.

Low Anterior Resection may be considered for patients with tumors or other disease affecting the middle or upper rectum when the anal sphincter can be safely preserved. Before surgery, investigations such as colonoscopy, pelvic MRI, CT imaging, and other staging tests may be performed depending on the diagnosis. During the procedure, the affected rectal segment and surrounding tissues are removed, and the bowel is reconnected when appropriate.
