The very last part of your intestine which connects your large intestine to your anal port is called rectum.

Any infection or an irritation can cause damage to your rectum, this can cause malaise leading to several constrictions.

So the surgery done to remove the infected tissue and to retrieve the normal excretion process to the rectum is called rectal surgery.
