Hemicolectomy Surgery – A Colon Resection Approach

Hemicolectomy Introduction

Hemicolectomy is a surgical operation in which either the right or left side of the colon is removed. This procedure is typically done to treat colon cancer, large polyps, or certain bowel diseases. The surgery helps restore intestinal health by removing the affected portion of the colon.

Surgical Technique of Hemicolectomy

Hemicolectomy begins under general anesthesia, ensuring the patient remains comfortable and safe during the procedure. The surgeon either makes a large incision or uses a laparoscopic approach with small keyhole cuts to access the colon. The diseased portion of the colon, along with its blood vessels and nearby lymph nodes, is carefully removed. The remaining ends of the intestine are reconnected using stapling or suturing techniques to maintain bowel continuity. In some complex cases, a temporary stoma may be created to allow healing. The use of advanced endoscopic and laparoscopic tools has made the procedure safer and recovery times shorter.

Medical Indications for Hemicolectom

• To remove localized colon cancer or precancerous growths
• To manage inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
• To treat complications like bowel obstruction or perforation
• To excise large polyps not suitable for endoscopic removal

Types of Hemicolectomy

Hemicolectomy is divided into right hemicolectomy and left hemicolectomy, depending on which side of the colon is affected. A right hemicolectomy removes the ascending colon and part of the transverse colon. A left hemicolectomy removes the descending colon and part of the transverse colon. Both techniques focus on preserving maximum healthy bowel while ensuring complete removal of diseased tissue.
