Hemicolectomy is a procedure in which a portion of the colon is removed. It is often carried out to treat cases of colorectal cancer, diverticular disease, or other illnesses of the intestines. After the procedure, the remaining segments of the colon are usually joined together, if required. At the time of surgery, the doctor reviews imaging studies, colon health, and overall health to determine the appropriate approach.
