Colorectal Surgery Associates was founded in 1991, as a direct outgrowth of the twenty year partnership of Dr. W. Edwin Conner and Dr. John W. Heryer. Shortly after Dr. Heryer's retirement, Dr. Pierre Castera and Dr. Lina O'Brien (the only female colon and rectal surgeon in Kansas City) joined the practice.
 
The physicians in this practice
are each certified by the
American Board of Surgery
 
 

(general surgery) and the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery.

 

They have extensive experience in colon and rectal surgery for cancer, with special emphasis on sphincter-saving surgery, thus avoiding a colostomy in many cases. Other innovative procedures they do include the pelvic J-pouch for ulcerative colitis, the PPH stapling procedure for internal hemorrhoids, and laparoscopic colon surgery.

 
The physicians of Colorectal Surgery Associates communicate their treatment recommendations in an understandable manner, taking into account the specific needs of each patient. They believe that a trusting doctor-patient relationship is essential for a good surgical outcome.
