During a partial colectomy, a surgeon removes the diseased portion of your colon and a small portion of surrounding healthy tissue. The surgeon may join the cut ends of the colon so that waste leaves your body normally. After the surgery, you’ll stay in the hospital for about 2 to 4 days. Medication will help ease the pain. Your nurse or doctor will explain how to care for your wound. If you have a stoma, they’ll show you how to care for it. Right after the surgery, you’ll be able to drink fluids. You may be able to eat solid foods the following day. Your surgeon might recommend eating a low-fiber diet for about a month. After 1 to 2 weeks, you may be able to get back to most of your normal routine, such as walking and working. Don’t try to lift anything over 10 pounds or do intense exercise until you get your doctor’s OK. It usually takes around 6 weeks to recover fully. DR.
