colectomy

[kəlek′təmē]

Etymology: Gk, kolon, colon, ektomē, excision

surgical excision of part or all of the colon, performed to treat cancer of the colon, diverticulitis, or severe chronic ulcerative colitis. For several days before surgery a low-residue diet is prescribed. Antibiotics, bowel-cleansing enemas, or an oral bowel preparation solution are given to reduce the number of bacteria in the bowel. Parenteral fluids and electrolytes are given, and a nasogastric tube is passed. The nurse gives postoperative care as for any abdominal surgery. The nasogastric tube is connected to suction and remains in place until bowel sounds are heard. See also abdominal surgery.

GI disease The surgical removal of various lengths of the colon; partial colectomies–with a rim or margin of healthy Tx are motivated by CA and acute diverticulitis; more complete colectomies–hemi-colectomy, total colectomy are indicated for long-standing ulcerative colitis, familial adenomatous polyposis, premalignant conditions which eventuate into cancer. See Open colectomy.

There are two commonly employed strategies for this approach: either segmental resection of the bowel containing the tumour followed by on table lavage of the upstream bowel prior to anastomosis; or else a subtotal colectomy is performed (in other words the tumour and all colon proximal to it is resected), and the terminal ileum is anastomosed to the colon or rectum downstream of the tumour.
