At Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, Total Colectomy is performed using advanced colorectal surgery techniques and personalized treatment planning. Established in 2010, this NABH accredited hospital in Delhi, India has 262 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.
