The lengthy tube that aids in moving digested food to the rectum and out of the body, the colon (large intestine), is where colon (colorectal) cancer appears.
Some polyps or growths in the inner lining of the colon can turn into colon cancer.
Patients with colon cancer have haunted bowel habits.
To remove the polyps or tumors or the growth, colectomy or colostomy is done.
A colectomy is a procedure to remove all or a portion of the colon.
Commonly known as colon resection surgery.
There are several different colectomy procedures:
The whole colon is removed during a total colectomy.
A partial colectomy, also known as a subtotal colectomy, entails removing a portion of the colon.
The right or left side of the colon is removed during hemicolectomy.
The colon and rectum are both removed during a proctocolectomy.
In a colostomy, the surgeon connects a bag or pouch to one end of the intestine by guiding it through a hole in the abdominal wall.
Stools that would typically go down the intestine to the rectum instead enter the pouch through the hole in the abdomen as a result of this action. It is necessary to physically empty the bag.
