Episode 205: Diverticulitis and Robotic Colon Surgery with Steven Donahue, M.D.

Host Mark Houston sits down with colorectal surgeon Dr. Steven Donahue to talk about diverticulitis, a condition Houston has lived with for over two decades. They walk through what causes it, when repeat flare-ups turn into a real conversation about surgery, and what recovery looks like using Monument Health's da Vinci robotic surgery system. Houston shares his own experience going through the procedure, start to finish, and Dr. Donahue breaks down what patients can actually expect, from that first consult to the fear most people have about ending up with a colostomy bag.
