Partial Colectomy is a surgical procedure that removes a specific segment of the colon while preserving the rest of the organ. This approach is commonly used to treat localized colon cancer, polyps, or diverticulitis.

The surgery involves excising the diseased portion of the colon and reconnecting the remaining sections to maintain normal digestive function. This can be performed through open surgery or minimally invasive laparoscopic methods.

Postoperative care includes pain management, dietary modifications, and monitoring for complications like infection or leakage at the resection site. Most patients recover within a few weeks and resume normal activities gradually.

Partial colectomy benefits patients by effectively treating localized conditions while maintaining much of the colon’s functionality. This approach ensures both symptom relief and a good quality of life.
