Anterior Resection of Rectum Surgery in India
Overview
What is Anterior Resection of Rectum ?
The bowel is a tube of intestine which runs from the stomach to the back passage. The lower half of the bowel is called the colon. The colon runs from the right side of the waist line, up to the right ribs, loops across the upper part of the belly and passes down the left side. There it runs backwards into the pelvis as the back passage, where it is called the rectum…..
The Operation
The surgery is performed under general anaesthetic.An incision is made in the skin to the left of the navel about 40 cm (15 inches) long. The left side of the colon loop and the upper rectum are freed from the inside. The diseased portion is then removed, normally the ends are reconnected. Sometimes it is safer if the ends are not reconnected and the bowel waste is then channeled through the bowel which opens in the front of the abdomen (a colostomy)…..
After surgery – in the hospital
The patient will have a fine plastic tube, to drain the stomach, coming out of the nose. Swallowing may be a little uncomfortable. The wound will have a dressing and a drainage tube. The patient may have had a colostomy. The medical staff will administer pain medication. The day after surgery the patient should be able to get out of bed and start moving around……
After returning home
The candidate is likely to need to rest two to three times a day for a week or so. Gradual improvement will take place. The candidate should be able to return to their usual level of activity after 3 month. Sexual activities can be restarted within 2 – 3 weeks.
The candidate should be able to return to work after 6 – 12 weeks depending on the level of activity involved…..
