Your Questions Answered

Why Do I Need Colon Cancer Surgery?

Colon cancer surgery is needed when cancer is detected in the colon and hasn’t spread beyond a manageable stage. It removes the cancerous section of the colon to eliminate the disease and prevent progression. Your doctor will recommend it based on cancer stage, size, and location.

How Do They Do It?

Pre-Surgical Assessment

Imaging (e.g., CT scans) and colonoscopy map the cancer for surgical planning.

Anesthesia

General anesthesia keeps you asleep and pain-free during surgery.

Surgical Procedure

Surgeons remove the affected colon section via open or laparoscopic methods.

Closing & Recovery

The colon is reconnected or a stoma created, followed by incision closure.

The procedure takes 2-4 hours, depending on complexity. Your surgeon will detail the method during consultation.

What Could Go Wrong?

Colon cancer surgery is safe with skilled teams, but risks include:

Infection at the surgical site

Bleeding or blood clots

Leakage at the colon reconnection

Bowel obstruction or changes

Major complications occur in less than 5% of cases. SB Medical Travels works with top hospitals to minimize risks and optimize outcomes.

How Do I Get Ready?

Preparation is key for a successful surgery and recovery:

Before Surgery:

  • Fast for 8-12 hours prior to general anesthesia

  • Follow a bowel prep regimen to clear the colon

  • Pack comfortable clothing and prepare for possible stoma care

  • Arrange a companion for support after discharge

SB Medical Travels provides a detailed pre-surgery checklist and personalized support throughout the process.

How Long Until I'm Back to Normal?

Recovery Timeline:

1
Hospital Stay

4-7 days, depending on the surgery type and healing.

2
First 2 Weeks

Rest and limited activity; manage diet and possible stoma.

3
4-6 Weeks

Gradual return to light activities as bowels normalize.

4

Our team coordinates your recovery, including dietary guidance and follow-ups for optimal healing.

Does It Hurt?

Pain management is a priority during and after colon cancer surgery:

During Surgery

General anesthesia ensures no pain during the procedure.

Immediately After

Moderate abdominal pain; managed with pain relief.

Recovery Period

Pain subsides within weeks; mild discomfort may linger.

Long-Term

Minimal pain after healing; focus shifts to bowel function.

Our partner hospitals ensure effective pain management, and we’ll support your recovery process.
