Small Intestine Surgery is performed to treat diseases or injuries affecting the small intestine, such as tumors, Crohn’s disease, or bowel obstructions. The surgery may involve resection (removal) of part of the small intestine, or procedures to address strictures or blockages.

In some cases, the damaged or diseased portion of the small intestine is removed, and the remaining parts are reconnected. In more complex cases, a colostomy or ileostomy may be performed to allow for waste elimination while the intestine heals.

Postoperative care includes managing pain, monitoring for infection, and ensuring adequate nutrition. Depending on the extent of the surgery, patients may need nutritional support through a feeding tube or special diets.

Small intestine surgery provides relief from a variety of gastrointestinal conditions, improving quality of life and reducing complications. Recovery times vary depending on the surgery performed and the patient's overall health.
