Every 35 minutes, an Australian is diagnosed with bowel cancer.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in Australia - and awareness, screening and early assessment all play an important role in improving outcomes.

According to Bowel Cancer Australia:
• 14,904 Australians are diagnosed each year
• 99% of cases can be treated successfully when detected at the earliest stage
• Bowel cancer is increasingly affecting younger Australians

Dr Boris Ruggiero provides specialist colorectal surgical care for patients across North Queensland, including the assessment and management of colorectal cancer and bowel conditions.

Knowing the symptoms and seeking medical advice early can make an important difference.

Many people silently live with pelvic floor symptoms because they feel embarrassed or unsure where to seek help.

The reality is pelvic floor disorders are extremely common - particularly following childbirth, surgery, chronic constipation, or ageing.

Dr Boris Ruggiero and Nurse Shona Lewis provide a compassionate, confidential and patient-centred approach to colorectal and pelvic floor care across North Queensland.

You are not alone, and help is available.

Our new non-surgical diagnostic services are now available in:
📍 Cairns
📍 Townsville

Early assessment can often help patients avoid or delay surgery through conservative management and targeted treatment plans.

❤️‍🩹Your care is in good hands

Dr Boris has many years of experience investigating anorectal problems with the following tests:
• Anorectal physiology - looks at how the re**um and a**s work together
• Anorectal manometry - measures the strength and coordination of the pelvic floor muscles
• Pudendal nerve testing - checks the nerves that help control bowel movements

He also offers, for necessary cases, sacral nerve stimulation, where a small device is implanted to help improve bowel control.
