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.

Colectomy is surgery to remove the colon, either partially or completely. The colon, or large intestine, is part of the digestive system. When it's removed, the remaining sections are reconnected, sometimes with a new route for waste to escape from the body.
