Although colon cancer is commonly found in both male and female patients, the risk factors associated with those aged 50 and above have caused many patients to be concerned about undergoing surgery. However, modern advancements in treatment have introduced a new innovation—laparoscopic surgery, which makes colon cancer surgery far less daunting than expected!
Colon cancer occurs due to abnormalities in the cells of the intestinal tissue, where the lining rapidly multiplies beyond the body's control. When these cells change from their normal state, tumors can develop in the colon. These tumors may or may not be cancerous. If cancer cells are present, they can spread to the muscles and other surrounding parts of the intestines.
This is a procedure to treat colon cancer by making a small incision (0.5–1 cm) through which a camera and surgical instruments are inserted into the abdominal cavity. The section of the colon containing the cancer, along with nearby lymph nodes, is removed.
Smaller incision: The surgical wound is much smaller compared to traditional open surgery.
Less pain: Patients experience less post-operative pain compared to open surgery.
Faster recovery: With less tissue damage and a smaller wound, the body recovers more quickly.
Lower hospitalization costs: As patients recover faster, they spend less time in the hospital.
Laparoscopic colon surgery is a highly advanced innovation developed to provide patients with effective treatment, aiming for better outcomes and improved quality of life!
