Top 5 Laparoscopic Colectomy Doctors in Amman 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Laparoscopic colectomy is keyhole surgery to remove all or part of the colon, the large bowel. Surgeons use it for conditions such as colon cancer and some long-term bowel diseases, when the team judges that removing a section of bowel is the right treatment. The decision follows examination, blood tests, imaging and usually a colonoscopy, so nobody should choose surgery from a directory alone.

Book a visit with your family doctor or a surgeon promptly if you have:

• a lasting change in bowel habits, such as new constipation, diarrhoea or narrow stools, for several weeks
• blood in your stool, or dark stools
• unexplained weight loss or ongoing tiredness
• persistent abdominal pain or bloating
• a low blood count (anaemia) found on tests

Many of these have causes other than cancer, but they still need a proper assessment.

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department without waiting for an appointment if you have:

• severe or worsening belly pain
• vomiting that does not stop
• heavy bleeding from the back passage, or black, tarry stools
• fever together with abdominal pain
• a swollen, hard belly with no gas or stool passing
• fainting, chest pain or difficulty breathing

Some profiles on this page list laparoscopic colectomy by name. Others list colon cancer resection, colorectal cancer surgery or related bowel procedures. These terms overlap but are not identical, so ask the surgeon what they would do for your condition.

How to choose among the doctors here

No list can name the best Laparoscopic Colectomy Doctors in Amman for you, because the order reflects how complete each profile is, not clinical quality. Use the profiles to narrow your options, then compare the points below.

• Service match: look for the procedure or a close equivalent in the services list, and for training in colorectal surgery.
• Your condition: some profiles emphasise colon cancer and colorectal work, while others focus more on general, hernia or bariatric surgery. Match that focus to your situation.
• Practical access: compare districts and opening hours. The clinics here are in Shmeisani, Jabal Amman, the 7th Circle, Abdali and Abu Nseir.
• Insurance and fees: check the insurers and the published consultation fee on each profile.
• Hospital plan: ask where surgery would take place. Dr. Muhtaseb's profile lists a current consultant role at Jordan University Hospital.
• Questions to ask: How many laparoscopic colectomies do you perform in a year? When would you switch to open surgery, and why? Who will follow me after the operation?

What to expect at the first visit

The first visit usually includes a history, an examination and a review of earlier tests. Bring:

• any colonoscopy, CT or MRI reports, and images on disc or phone if available
• recent blood test results
• a list of current medicines, including blood thinners and supplements, and any known allergies
• details of previous operations
• your insurance card and policy number
• a written list of symptoms with the dates they started

Ask the surgeon what the working diagnosis is, whether keyhole surgery suits your case and what would rule it out, which alternatives are appropriate, what recovery usually involves, when you should call, and which hospital is used and who covers the operation. Risks vary from person to person, so ask for them to be explained for your own situation.

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

The only fees on this page are the consultation fees published on each profile: 20 JOD for Dr. Hisham Issa Shabani, 30 JOD for Dr. Mohammad Sami Al-Muhtaseb, 20 JOD for Dr. Mohammad Zaied Al Kiswani, 30 JOD for Dr. Mohamad Rassoul Abu Nuwar, and 20 JOD for Consultant Loai Abu Sadah. Surgery, hospital and anaesthesia costs are not shown here.

Before booking:

• Confirm that your insurer appears on the surgeon's profile, then check your exact plan. Being listed does not guarantee cover for every service.
• Ask the clinic for a written estimate covering the consultation, tests, hospital stay and surgical fees.
• Ask whether the consultation and any follow-up visits are covered by your plan.
• Confirm the opening hours for the day you plan to attend.

Getting there

The clinics sit in different districts. Dr. Hisham Issa Shabani Clinic is in Shmeisani, Al Khalidi Medical Plaza, where Dr. Muhtaseb's clinic is on the fifth floor, is in Jabal Amman, and JoSante Healthcare Center's Amman branch is in the 7th Circle. Abdali Hospital Outpatient Clinics are in Abdali, and Dr Loai Abu Sadah's clinic is in Abu Nseir.

Use a taxi or ride-hailing app with the clinic name and district. Confirm the exact entrance and floor with the clinic before you travel. If your visit is at a hospital, check its entrance and visitor rules when you arrive.
