AFRICAN FERTILITY CENTRE (AFC) offers advanced Total Colectomy using modern colorectal surgical techniques and individualized treatment protocols. Established in 1999, the ISO accredited hospital is located in Casablanca, Morocco and it has adequate bed capacity, providing comprehensive surgical care for local and international patients.
Total Colectomy is a surgical procedure in which the entire colon is removed while the rectum is generally left in place. It may be recommended for conditions such as severe ulcerative colitis, familial adenomatous polyposis, certain colorectal cancers, or other serious diseases affecting the colon. After the colon is removed, the surgeon may reconnect the small intestine to the rectum when appropriate or create an ileostomy to divert stool through an opening in the abdominal wall. The reconstruction method depends on the patient's condition and surgical requirements.
At Clinique Internationale Marrakech, Total Colectomy is performed using advanced colorectal surgery techniques and personalized treatment planning. Established in 2016, this accredited hospital in Marrakesh, Morocco has 160 beds and offers comprehensive gastrointestinal and surgical services.
Total Colectomy may be considered when extensive disease affects the colon and medication or more limited procedures are not suitable. During the operation, the surgeon removes the entire colon and determines the most appropriate method for restoring intestinal continuity. In selected cases, the small intestine can be joined to the rectum; in others, an ileostomy may be required temporarily or permanently. Pre-operative assessment helps the surgical team evaluate bowel function, nutritional status, overall health, and the underlying disease before treatment.
