Total abdominal colectomy is a surgical procedure of removing the large intestine from the ileum to the rectum. It is a type of a bowel surgery used as a colon cancer surgery. It is also known as colon resection surgery. After removal, the end of the small intestine is sewn to the rectum. This procedure is also called Ileorectal anastomosis; Subtotal colectomy.
A total colectomy is performed to treat severe or widespread diseases of the colon that cannot be managed with medication or less invasive procedures. To allow bowel movements to proceed properly through the anus, the entire colon is removed, and the small intestine is connected to the rectum.
If you have severe abdominal pain, uncontrollable bleeding, chronic or worsening bowel symptoms, or a colon problem that does not improve with medical treatment, you should visit a doctor for a total colectomy.
A thorough medical evaluation, blood testing, imaging, and colon cleansing, as directed by the surgeon, are components of preparation for a total colectomy.
Before the procedure, patients may need to stop taking certain medications, follow a specific diet, and fast for a few hours.
During a total colectomy, the entire colon is removed by the surgeon using open or minimally invasive methods while the patient is under general anaesthesia. Depending on the patient's health, the small intestine is either brought out as a stoma or attached to the rectum.
A total colectomy procedure usually takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the surgical approach and the complexity of the patient’s condition.
When alternative treatments have failed, a total colectomy can alleviate severe symptoms, address major colon illnesses, avoid potentially fatal complications, and enhance overall quality of life.
Recovery after a total colectomy typically involves a hospital stay for monitoring, gradual reintroduction of diet, pain management, and wound care. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks, depending on the rate of healing and overall health.
Total colectomy has a high success rate in treating severe colon conditions, with studies reporting 80-95% patient satisfaction or significant symptom improvement, and most patients experience substantial symptom relief and improved quality of life when experienced surgeons perform the procedure.
