Bowel Resection Colon Cancer Surgery
Bowel Resection is performed with the help of an opening in the abdomen. This procedure not only helps remove the diseased tissues but also eliminates the surrounding tissues to make sure that there are no cancerous cells left behind after bowel cancer surgery. With the help of stitches, the ends of the intestine or bowel are then joined together. This procedure is known as anastomosis.
After that, the abdomen is closed with stitches. During this procedure, doctors may also perform a temporary colostomy, especially for those patients who have rectal cancer. If you want to know more about bowel cancer surgery or wanna get it done at some reliable place, then make an appointment at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital or the Siteman Cancer Center. The calling numbers are (877) 926-4NMH (4664) and 314-454-7177 respectively.
