Rectal Cancer Surgery involves removing cancerous tumors from the rectum, which may include resection of the rectum and surrounding tissues. In some cases, a colostomy may be required if the cancer affects the rectum or anus.

The surgery can be performed using either traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, depending on the location and spread of the cancer. The procedure typically includes removal of the tumor and a portion of the surrounding tissue to ensure all cancerous cells are excised.

Postoperative care includes wound care, pain management, and rehabilitation to improve bowel function. Nutritional support and psychological counseling are also important for recovery and quality of life.

Rectal cancer surgery offers a chance for cure and long-term survival, especially when combined with other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy. It significantly improves quality of life by reducing symptoms and preventing further spread of the disease.
