Intestinal Resection
Articles and resources for Intestinal Resection in General Surgery.
Intestinal resection is a surgical procedure that involves removing a portion of the intestine. This surgery is often considered for various medical conditions, including Crohn’s disease, colorectal cancer, diverticulitis, and bowel obstructions. By removing the affected section, the goal is to alleviate symptoms, prevent complications, or improve overall intestinal function. It is typically recommended when other treatments, such as medication or dietary changes, have not been effective.
The procedure can be performed using traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy. During the surgery, the surgeon makes an incision in the abdomen to access the intestine, removes the diseased segment, and then reconnects the healthy parts of the intestine. Patients can expect to stay in the hospital for a few days post-surgery, during which time they will be monitored for recovery and any potential complications. Recovery times can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery.
While intestinal resection can provide significant benefits, such as relief from symptoms and improved quality of life, it also carries risks. Common risks include infection, bleeding, and complications related to anesthesia. Additionally, some patients may experience changes in bowel habits or digestive issues following the surgery. It is important for individuals to discuss these potential outcomes with their healthcare provider to understand the implications of the procedure fully.
