Colon Cancer Surgery is a procedure used to treat cancerous tumors in the colon. The surgery typically involves removing the portion of the colon affected by cancer, and in some cases, a colectomy (removal of part or all of the colon) may be performed.

The procedure can be done using open surgery or laparoscopically, depending on the cancer's stage and location. If cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes or organs, additional procedures may be needed to remove affected tissue.

Postoperative care includes managing pain, supporting bowel function, and monitoring for complications such as infection or bowel obstruction. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy may also be recommended after surgery, depending on the cancer’s stage.

Colon cancer surgery is a critical step in treating this disease and offers hope for long-term survival. With early detection and effective treatment, many patients experience improved outcomes and a higher quality of life.
