Sigmoidectomy
Articles and resources for Sigmoidectomy in Colorectal Surgery.
A sigmoidectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the sigmoid colon, which is the part of the large intestine closest to the rectum. This surgery is often considered for various medical conditions, including diverticulitis, colorectal cancer, or severe inflammatory bowel disease. By removing the affected section, the procedure aims to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications that may arise from these conditions.
The surgery can be performed using traditional open techniques or minimally invasive laparoscopic methods, depending on the patient’s situation and the surgeon’s expertise. During the procedure, the surgeon will carefully detach the sigmoid colon from surrounding tissues and remove it, often rejoining the remaining sections of the colon afterward. Patients can expect a hospital stay and some time for recovery, during which they may experience discomfort and changes in bowel habits as their body adjusts.
While a sigmoidectomy can lead to significant improvements in quality of life and symptom relief, it also carries potential risks. Common benefits include reduced pain, lower chances of infection, and improved bowel function. However, risks may include complications such as bleeding, infection, or issues with bowel function post-surgery. Understanding these factors helps patients make informed decisions about their treatment options.
