Talk:Colorectal surgery

At

At the bottom of this page, it makes a reference to Seinfeld episode, calling it "excellent". I dispute the neutrality of that statement. Someone please correct this.

colorectal surgeons term

The article says, "more commonly called colorectal surgeons." By whom? In the medical field? For your average person, this seems unlikely. I can't think of a single time I've ever heard "I'm on my way to see my colorectal surgeon." Without context and citation, I think this "more commonly called" phrase is useless.

its literally the opposite of reality.

Proctologist. That's what they're more commonly called. Literally no one says colorectal surgeon except colorectal surgeons. 2600:1014:B140:5FFE:31DD:91EA:D6F4:1958 (talk) 03:50, 16 September 2025 (UTC)

the term “proctology” is actually outdated and not used in medical field anymore, since the 60’s Bonomiu (talk) 04:44, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

the mess of a f****** Seinfeld reference

The title seems to imply that they are all surgeons

Are there not physicians in this field who do not perform surgery? BD2412 T 21:32, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Why would proctology in general redirect to specifically "colorectal surgery"?

That's like general cardiology directing to specifically "heart surgery". That makes no sense at all.

There's literally no wikipedia page for "proctology". Because it erroneously redirects here.

Even if it was intentional, it was erroneous. Proctology ≠ colorectal surgery.

It's honestly kind of ridiculous. 2600:1014:B140:5FFE:31DD:91EA:D6F4:1958 (talk) 03:48, 16 September 2025 (UTC)
