The path to better outcomes with key hole colectomy surgery

Colectomy is a surgical procedure for the removal of all or part of the large intestine. This surgery is performed when there are cancerous or precancerous lesions, a blockage, inflammatory bowel disease or diverticulitis and few less common reasons. Sometimes a person who is involved in a traumatized injury may require a colectomy. Disorders of the large intestine can often have similar signs and symptoms. Thus, it’s important to have a thorough medical evaluation before considering surgery. This surgery can be performed by either an open surgery or by laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is less invasive with faster healing time.
