Colorectal Cancer Surgery

Colorectal cancer surgery involves removing cancerous tumors from the colon or rectum. The procedure aims to eliminate cancer and can vary in scope, from removing a small section to the entire affected area. Surgeons may also remove nearby lymph nodes to prevent the spread of cancer. Depending on the extent of the disease, patients may need additional treatments, such as chemotherapy. Recovery involves monitoring and may require dietary adjustments or temporary lifestyle changes. Overall, the goal is to improve quality of life and reduce the chances of cancer returning.
