How long will it take for me to recover from my partial colectomy operation?

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.

How successful is haemorrhoid surgery?

Haemorrhoids are swollen veins in the anal canal. The treatment depends on the stage in which the disease is. If it is still in its early stages you can simply treat it with a high fibre diet and plenty of oral fluids. If it moves into later stages, surgery can be made via laser procedures, open surgery or even a stapler procedure. These surgeries, in general, are very successful. However, haemorrhoids have a tendency of reappearing. It is much better to focus on fixing haemorrhoids through natural methods. If you still wish to go for surgery then you should consult with specialists such as Dr Mehli Nazir to give yourself the best haemorrhoids treatment possible. DR.

What Is An Anal Fistula? This a channel extending from the anal canal (usually) to the skin in the area surrounding the anal verge. It is frequently a result of the formation of an anal gland infection which may manifest as an abscess. What Is The Treatment For Anal Fistula ? Surgery is almost always needed as only very few fistulas heal by themselves. The procedure of choice depends on: Type of Fistula Presence/ absence of infection/large abscess.
