Colon Surgery
Each year, more than 600,000 surgical procedures are performed in the United States to treat a number of colon disorders. Although surgery is not always a cure and always a last resort, it is often the best way to stop the spread of disease and alleviate pain and discomfort.
Minimally invasive laparoscopic colon surgery allows the surgeons at New Jersey Bariatric Center® to perform many common colon procedures through small incisions. Depending on the type of procedure, patients may leave the hospital in a few days and return to normal activities 3 to 4 weeks after surgery.
How NJBC Can Help
In most laparoscopic colon resections, New Jersey Bariatric Center® surgeons operate through four or five small openings (each about a quarter of an inch) while viewing an image of the patient’s internal organs on a television monitor. In some cases, one of the small openings is lengthened to two or three inches to complete the procedure.
