Colorectal Anastomosis

Colorectal anastomosis is a surgical procedure that connects two sections of the large intestine (colon) after a part has been removed due to disease, injury, or other reasons. During the surgery, the surgeon cuts out the affected section and then stitches or staples the remaining healthy segments back together. This allows the digestive process to continue normally, helping the body expel waste. It's commonly performed in cases like colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease. Recovery can vary, but many people return to normal activities after healing.
