Colon Cancer Surgery
Colon Cancer's Challenge, Surgery's Triumph: Precision Redefined
At Universal Hospital, our specialized team of surgeons, oncologists, and healthcare professionals is committed to providing comprehensive care, from diagnosis to recovery. Colon cancer surgery aims to remove the tumor, address affected lymph nodes, and potentially resect a portion of the colon for complete treatment.Colon cancer surgery is a crucial component of the treatment plan for individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
Types of Colon Cancer Surgery:
Colectomy:
- Partial Colectomy (Segmental Resection): Involves removing a portion of the colon containing the tumor and surrounding healthy tissue.
- Total Colectomy: In some cases, the entire colon may need to be removed. This is more common when there are multiple tumors or extensive disease.
Lymph Node Dissection:
- Removal and examination of nearby lymph nodes to assess the extent of cancer spread and aid in staging.
Colostomy:
- In certain cases, especially when a significant portion of the colon is removed, a colostomy may be created. This involves bringing a portion of the remaining colon to the surface of the abdomen to create a stoma, allowing waste to exit the body into a colostomy bag.
Laparoscopic or Robotic-Assisted Surgery:
- Minimally invasive approaches using small incisions and specialized instruments for colectomy, providing potential benefits such as quicker recovery and less postoperative pain.
