Colorectal surgery is a field in medicine dealing with disorders of the rectum, anus, and colon. It covers caring for patients with cancers of the colon, rectum and anus along with other benign disorders like inflammatory bowel disease (Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease), diverticulitis, pelvic floor issues such as fecal incontinence and rectal prolapse, and a myriad of anorectal pathologies like hemorrhoids, fistulas, abscesses and fissures.
With a passion for both science and service, Dr. Calata enjoys all aspects of medicine – teaching, outreach, and improving the quality of life for patients and communities. His service efforts have involved traveling to El Salvador, Dominican Republic and Rwanda to help improve health resources and nutrition.
