Colon Resection in Chandigarh

Will I need a stoma bag after colon resection?

Not always; many resections allow immediate reconnection, but a temporary stoma may be needed in more complicated or emergency situations, which your surgeon will discuss based on your specific case.

How long is the hospital stay?

Typically 5-7 days, shorter with laparoscopic techniques and enhanced recovery protocols.

What is the recovery time at home?

Most patients need 4-8 weeks to fully recover and return to normal activities.

Will diverticulitis come back after resection?

Removing the affected segment significantly reduces the chance of recurrence in that area, though diverticula can still be present elsewhere in the remaining colon.

What are the main risks?

Risks include infection, anastomotic leak, and bowel obstruction from scar tissue, so close post-operative monitoring is important.
