At University Hospital, Laparoscopic Colon Resection is performed using specialized laparoscopic colorectal techniques and comprehensive diagnostic assessment. Established in 1842, this SAC accredited hospital in Basel, Switzerland has 773 beds and offers advanced colorectal surgery, gastrointestinal oncology, minimally invasive surgery, and postoperative rehabilitation services.

Laparoscopic Colon Resection may be considered when a section of the colon requires surgical removal because of cancer, persistent inflammation, obstruction, diverticular disease, or other significant conditions. Before surgery, imaging, colonoscopy, laboratory testing, and other assessments may be used to determine the location and extent of disease. During the procedure, the affected portion of the colon is removed through small incisions, followed by reconnection of the bowel or creation of a temporary or permanent stoma when clinically necessary.
