A colon resection (also known as a colectomy) is an inpatient procedure in which the cancerous portion of the colon is removed. To ensure all of the cancerous tissue is removed, a small portion of healthy colon tissue adjacent to the cancerous tissue may also be removed. On average, one-fourth to one-third of the colon may be removed during a colectomy. The remaining portions of the colon are then connected.
What Is a Large Bowel Resection? A large bowel resection is also known as a colectomy. The goal of this surgery is for your surgeon to remove diseased sections of your large bowel. Another name for the large bowel is the large intestine. The large intestine consists of several parts, including the colon. During this surgery, your surgeon removes the diseased parts of the bowel and then reconnects the healthy parts. Your surgeon may remove all or part of your bowel. Your surgeon may perform a colostomy if thereâs not enough healthy intestine after surgery. During a colostomy, your surgeon moves one end of your large intestine to the outside of your abdominal wall and attaches a colostomy bag to your abdomen. When stool passes through your large intestine, it drains into the bag. The stool that goes into the bag is usually soft or liquid. A colostomy is often temporary.
