Colorectal surgery
Colorectal surgery is a surgical procedure involving the treatment of disorders of the colon, rectum, and anus. It is used for various conditions, including cancer, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and hemorrhoids. Surgeries can be performed through minimally invasive methods like laparoscopy or robotics, or via traditional open surgery, and often involve removing abnormal tissue or a section of the colon (colectomy).
The procedures are further classified based on the application:
➔Colectomy: It is the removal of all or part of the large intestine.
➔Colostomy/Ileostomy: Creating an opening in the abdomen to divert waste.
➔Resection: Removing a section of the colon, often because of cancer.
➔Hemorrhoidectomy: Surgical removal of hemorrhoids.
➔Laparoscopic and robotic surgery: Minimally invasive techniques using small incisions for greater precision.
