Success Rate

90%

Performed to remove part or all of the large intestine, most commonly for colorectal cancer, but also for severe inflammatory bowel disease that hasn't responded to medical treatment, complicated diverticulitis, or bowel obstruction. The extent of colon removed depends on the location and extent of disease.

Signs You May Need Colectomy

Persistent changes in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, and anemia are common warning signs for colorectal cancer, while inflammatory bowel disease may present with chronic diarrhea, bloody stools, and abdominal cramping that doesn't respond to medication. Bowel obstruction symptoms like severe bloating, vomiting, and inability to pass stool or gas can indicate a more urgent need for surgery.

Types of Colectomy

Partial colectomy removes only the diseased section of colon, while total colectomy removes the entire colon, sometimes with the rectum as well for extensive disease like ulcerative colitis. Laparoscopic or robotic-assisted colectomy, using small incisions, is now commonly preferred over open surgery when feasible, offering a faster recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need a colostomy bag after colectomy?

Not always; many colectomies allow the remaining bowel ends to be reconnected immediately, though a temporary or occasionally permanent stoma may be needed depending on the extent of surgery and disease.

How long is the hospital stay?

Typically 4-7 days, though minimally invasive approaches and enhanced recovery protocols can shorten this.

Will I need chemotherapy after colectomy for cancer?

This depends on the cancer's stage and pathology findings after surgery, which your oncologist will review to determine if further treatment is needed.

What is the recovery time at home?

Most patients need about 4-6 weeks to fully recover, gradually resuming normal diet and activity.

Can I live a normal life without part of my colon?

Yes, most people adapt well and live normally after partial colectomy, though bowel habits may change somewhat, especially with more extensive removal.
