Laprascopic Surgery for Colorectal Disease
Laparoscopic or 'keyhole' surgery allows the surgeon to carry out operations through four or five small (one-centimetre) cuts in the abdomen (tummy). A telescope camera, put into one of these small cuts, shows an enlarged image (picture) of the internal abdominal organs on a television screen.
Traditional abdominal surgery involves a large cut in the abdomen. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery (or keyhole surgery) involves a number of smaller cuts in the abdominal wall. The idea is that the surgery will be less painful and that as a consequence you will recover quicker.
It also means that you stay in hospital a shorter time (a matter of days) and can return to normal activities in a few weeks.
Advantages Of Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery
Results vary depending on the type of procedure and your overall condition. Common advantages include:
- Less pain after the operation
- A shorter hospital stay
- A quicker return to eating, drinking and bowel function (going to the toilet normally)
- A quicker return to normal activityd
- Less scarring after the operation
EXPECTATIONS AFTER SURGERY
Immediately (within the first 24 to 48 hours), you will need:
- Oxygen through a face mask
- Intravenous fluid using a cannula (drip) into a vein in one of your arms
- A catheter in your bladder to drain urine
- Medication to deal with mild pain
Later (the following day or so), you will need to:
- Start eating a modified diet, starting with liquids followed by gradually taking solid foods
- Move round as soon as possible
The use of minimally invasive approaches in the surgical management of colorectal diseases continues to gain popularity. Laparoscopy has clear advantages and can be performed in a majority of patients at surgical centers with experienced surgeons. Use of hand-assist devices and CO2 colonoscopy are essential tools in the operating room. As technology marches forward, newer techniques will continue to advance the quality of patient care.
