What is Colon Surgery?
Colon surgery, or colectomy, is a procedure that involves removing all or part of the colon to treat digestive diseases, structural issues, or cancer. Depending on the condition, surgery may be minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) or traditional open surgery.
How Colon Surgery Works
- The affected portion of the colon is carefully removed.
- Healthy sections are reconnected (anastomosis) or a temporary/permanent ostomy may be created.
- Minimally invasive techniques reduce recovery time and surgical trauma.
- Surgery addresses underlying disease, restores bowel function, and alleviates symptoms.
