Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Surgical care for Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis, coordinated with gastroenterology to integrate medical and surgical management.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis — chronic conditions causing inflammation of the digestive tract. While many patients are managed with medication under a gastroenterologist, surgery may be needed for complications such as strictures, fistulas, abscesses, or disease unresponsive to medical therapy. Dr Tiang works closely with gastroenterology teams to optimise the timing and outcomes of surgical intervention, using minimally invasive techniques where appropriate.

Frequently asked
