Segmental Colectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing a portion of the colon, typically to treat conditions like colon cancer, diverticulitis, or Crohn's disease. The goal is to remove the diseased or damaged section while preserving the remaining healthy parts of the colon.

The surgery is often performed through open surgery or laparoscopy, depending on the location and extent of the disease. The surgeon reconnects the healthy ends of the colon after the affected portion is removed.

Postoperative care includes managing pain, preventing infection, and monitoring for complications like bowel obstruction or leakage from the surgical site. Patients are also encouraged to follow a special diet to aid healing.

Segmental colectomy is an effective treatment for localized colon diseases, improving survival rates and restoring bowel function while minimizing the impact on digestive health.
