Proctology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Proctology is a field in medicine dealing with diseases and disorders of the rectum, anus, colon and pelvic floor. The word Proctology is derived from the Greek words Proktos, meaning anus or hindparts, and Logos meaning science or study.
Physicians specializing in this field of medicine are called proctologists. Most proctologists are surgeons by training. Proctologists often work closely with urologists.
