Intestinal Resection Surgery In India
Intestinal Resection Surgery
Resection surgery may be used to remove strictures, either one long stricture or a group of strictures that are close to one another, or it may be used to remove severely diseased portions of the small or large intestine. The goal of the surgery is to keep as much of the healthy bowel as possible. In particular, removing long segments of the small intestine is avoided because it can lead to nutritional deficiencies.
Partial resection of the colon is not typically used to treat ulcerative colitis, as the disease tends to return in the section of the colon that is left. A total colectomy, with or without the creation of an internal pouch, is the surgery most often used to treat ulcerative colitis…
Procedure
During a resection, general anesthetic is used. The surgery may be done either through open surgery or laparoscopic surgery, but open surgery is far more common. Laparoscopic surgery is typically used only in cases where the diseased section of intestine is located in the ileum, and there are no other complications.
In open surgery, one large incision will be made. The diseased section of the bowel is clamped off and removed. After the diseased portion of the intestine is removed, the two healthy ends are attached together (called anastomosis). In laparoscopic surgery, 3 to 4 small incisions are used. The abdomen is filled with gas so the surgeon can better see the abdominal cavity and a camera is inserted through one of the incisions.

Depending on what type you have, your surgeon will make 1 or more incisions (cuts) in your belly. In a laparoscopic colectomy, the surgeon uses a camera to see inside your belly and small instruments to remove the part of your large bowel. You will have 3 to 5 small cuts in your lower belly. The surgeon passes the medical instruments through these cuts.
You may also have a cut of about 2 to 3 inches if your surgeon needs to put a hand inside your belly. Your belly will be filled with gas to expand it. This makes the area easier to see and work in. Your surgeon will remove the diseased part of your large bowel. The surgeon will then sew the healthy ends of the bowel back together. This is called resecting. Then your cuts will be closed with stitches. For open colectomy, your surgeon will make 6-inch cut in your lower belly. The surgeon will find the part of your colon that is diseased. The surgeon will put clamps on both ends of this part to close it off. Then the surgeon will remove the diseased part. If there is enough healthy large intestine left, your surgeon will sew or staple the healthy ends back together. Most patients have this done. If you do not have enough healthy large intestine to reconnect, your surgeon will make an opening called a stoma through the skin of your belly. Your large intestine will be attached to the outer wall of your belly. Stool will go through the stoma into a drainage bag outside your body. This is called a colostomy…
