To remove all of the rectum or a portion of the rectum from patients who suffer from conditions like rectal cancer & severe inflammatory bowel diseases, trauma or severe infections.
If you experience any of these issues persistently (rectal bleeding, severe pain, bowel obstruction, unexplained weight loss, or other change in bowel habits not improving after treatment), please consult with your physician immediately.
Preparation to undergo surgery will include bowel cleansing the night prior (with an oral laxative), fasting prior to surgery, stopping certain medications, & undergoing pre-op tests. Additionally, your physician will provide instructions on your diet (the type of foods you can eat) & your lifestyle before surgery.
Proctectomy is performed under general anesthesia, with the removal of the diseased rectum and if your gastrointestinal tract is to be repaired or reconstructed after the removal of the rectum, or if an external bag (stoma) should be placed.
The time it takes to complete a proctectomy can vary, but it can take 2 - 4 hours to perform, depending on the surgical technique used and on the severity of the condition.
- Bleeding during or after surgery
- Infection at the surgical site
- Blood clots in the legs or lungs
- Injury to nearby organs
- Leakage from bowel connection (anastomotic leak)
- Bowel obstruction or delayed bowel function
- Wound healing problems
- Urinary or sexual dysfunction due to nerve injury
- Stoma-related complications (if a stoma is created)
It includes the removal of the diseased or cancerous rectum completely, provides a definitive treatment for rectal cancer and severe rectal conditions, relieves symptoms such as bleeding, pain, and bowel obstruction, prevents the spread of cancer to nearby organs, and reduces the risk of recurrence in advanced disease, improves long-term survival outcomes, and eliminates chronic infection or inflammation.
You will be monitored in the hospital during your recovery, and then you will gradually return to an oral diet, will require continued pain control for a few days & will have wound care as instructed by your physician. It can take several weeks to recover completely from the proctectomy, with the first to sixth week of healing being the majority of time when a follow-up visit with your surgeon is scheduled, along with any lifestyle modifications based on your surgeon's recommendations.
The success rate of a proctectomy for different conditions varies depending on the severity of the condition & the surgical technique used, however, in general there is a high success rate (70%,) for patients after experiencing a proctectomy with regard to eliminating symptoms such as incontinence and with regard to the re-occurrence of rectal prolapse (8-10% for rectal prolapse).

+99Process Involved for Proctectomy
- Preoperative Evaluation: Before undergoing surgery, the patient must undergo extensive diagnostic tests, which include imaging studies, colonoscopy, biopsy, and blood work, and also undergo a full physical assessment of their overall health to determine if they are fit to have anesthesia. Bowel preparation and specific dietary instructions will be provided to ensure optimal surgical readiness.
- Surgical Procedure: This operation is carried out under general anesthesia, either through an open or minimally invasive approach. The affected area of the rectum will then be surgically removed with the intention of re-establishing the continuity of the bowel or creating a colostomy, depending on the clinical situation presented.
- Postoperative Care: Patients will be closely monitored for any issues that arise and will be gradually advanced to fluids, then to a soft diet, as tolerated. The patient will receive pain control, wound care, and stoma management training (if applicable) before hospital discharge.
