Colon Cancer Surgery: What to Expect

If you have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer, your doctor might suggest surgery, which can often provide the best chance for treatment. The sooner colon cancer is detected and treated, the higher the chances of a positive outcome. Here’s what colorectal surgeons want everyone to know about the surgery options available for colon cancer.

FAQ

What is life like after colon cancer surgery? Are there any long- term side effects?

After a colectomy, patients can return to their normal diet without experiencing any long-term side effects in terms of bowel patterns.

Colon cancer patients do not always require an ostomy bag after surgery, as this is only true for those who undergo a colostomy procedure. During a colostomy, the surgeon connects the healthy end of the colon to the skin, which is covered by a plastic bag that collects waste and needs to be emptied throughout the day. Most colon cancer patients do not need a colostomy, as the procedure is more often used to treat rectal cancer.

Can all colon cancers be treated with this approach?

Not all. The suitability of laparoscopic or robotic surgery depends on the tumor’s size, location, and stage, as well as patient factors.

What is the recovery time after surgery?

Recovery time varies, but patients typically spend less time in the hospital and can return to normal activities within a few weeks.

Will this surgery impact my long-term bowel function?

While many patients return to normal bowel function, some may experience changes in frequency or consistency of bowel movements. Long-term effects can vary based on the extent of surgery and individual factors.
