Intestinal Cancer Surgery

Intestinal cancer surgery involves removing the cancerous portion of the intestine along with a margin of healthy tissue. Depending on the tumor’s location, procedures may include small-bowel resection, colectomy, or other bowel resections. After removing the tumor, the healthy ends of the intestine may be joined together (anastomosis). In some cases, a temporary or permanent stoma/colostomy may be required to allow waste to leave the body. Surgery may be performed using open, laparoscopic, or other minimally invasive techniques, depending on the cancer and patient’s condition.
