Meet Dr. Mutch
Dr. Matthew Mutch is a colon and rectal surgeon specializing in colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, anorectal diseases and other conditions affecting the colon and rectum.
He has expertise in minimally invasive approaches, which often result in less pain, faster recovery times and shorter hospital stays than traditional open surgery.
Dr. Mutch earned his medical degree from WashU Medicine, where he also completed general surgery residency. Dr. Mutch completed a colon and rectal surgery fellowship at Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Massachusetts.
Colorectal cancer is often very curable. At WashU Medicine, we’re developing novel treatments to help more people with colorectal cancer, including younger adults, who are developing the disease at a higher rate.
