Proctocolectomy

Proctocolectomy

Proctocolectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the entire colon and rectum. This complex operation is commonly performed to treat severe conditions like ulcerative colitis, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), and sometimes for cases of refractory Crohn's disease. The surgery aims to eliminate diseased or damaged portions of the large intestine, providing relief from symptoms and preventing the recurrence of certain conditions. During a proctocolectomy, the surgeon carefully excises the colon, including the rectum, and in some cases, the anus. Depending on the specifics of the condition and the patient's health, the surgeon may create either an ileostomy or an ileo-anal pouch to redirect the flow of waste. An ileostomy involves bringing the end of the small intestine through an opening in the abdominal wall to form a stoma, through which stool exits the body into an external pouch. Alternatively, an ileo-anal pouch (also known as J-pouch) may be created by fashioning the small intestine into a pouch inside the body, allowing for the storage of waste before eventual elimination through the anus. Post-surgery, patients typically undergo an adjustment period to adapt to changes in bowel function and lifestyle. Proctocolectomy can effectively alleviate symptoms, reduce the risk of cancer associated with certain conditions, and significantly improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from severe colon or rectal diseases. However, it's important to note that this procedure is major surgery and involves potential risks, including infection, bleeding, and complications associated with anesthesia. Patients often require ongoing medical care and support to manage any post-operative issues and to adapt to life after proctocolectomy.
