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. DR.

What is the difference between a total colectomy and a partial colectomy?

  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. Or it might be necessary to connect the colon to an opening (stoma) in the abdominal wall, where waste leaves the body and collects in a bag attached to the opening. Total colectomy involves removing the entire colon. A total colectomy will also require the creation of an ileostomy (with a stoma, where a bag is worn on the outside of the body to collect stool).

    Colectomy is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of your colon. If medications aren’t helping you, removing the affected part of your colon may offer temporary relief from signs and symptoms.

Are doctor visits necessary after a colectomy operation?

  A  colectomy surgery  is also sometimes known as a colon resection. As part of this operation, the section of your colon which contains the tumor is removed from the body. Regardless of what type of surgery you opt for, open or  laparoscopic surgery,  the patient will require follow-ups. This is the period when recurrences or complications are most likely to occur. During the first five years, patients must meet with their doctors at least once every 3-4 months and then once a year after five years. I would recommend consulting with Dr. Mehli Nazir for a better understanding of the field of colectomy. DR.
