What is Colon Surgery?
Colon resection surgery, also known as colectomy or large bowel resection, is a surgery of colon that aids in the reduction of any gastrointestinal or digestive tract disorder or complications. It is commonly used to treat colon cancer or inflammatory bowel diseases. The surgery also helps in resecting any damaged parts or all of your colon, which is a part of your large intestine. Depending on the patient's complications, the problem can range from mild to severe.
Colon surgery helps patients lower the risk of various life-threatening problems such as colon cancer, colitis (colon infection), tumor, large bowel obstruction, diverticulitis, Crohn's disease and many other related problems.
Depending upon the part of colon removed through surgery, it is divided into 4 types such as total colectomy, partial colectomy, hemicolectomy, proctocolectomy.

Treatment of Colon
Laparoscopic
This procedure makes 3-5 small incisions on the abdomen and inserts the laparoscope device through one incision while performing the surgery with the others. The device helps monitor the infected area and displays it on a computer.
Open Surgery
It involves making one large cut and treating the infected area manually.
Robotic
The surgeon performs colon surgery by using a computerised system to manipulate mechanical arms that are holding a camera and surgical tools. Compared to human hands and wrists, robotic arms have a wider range of motion, offering greater flexibility for difficult, delicate treatments.

The treatment uses an endoscope, an instrument with a laser and camera attachment, to diagnose and treat certain GI conditions. It is inserted through the anus.
