laparoscopic sigmoidectomy

Laparoscopic sigmoidectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove part of the sigmoid colon, which is the lower section of the large intestine. Surgeons insert small instruments and a camera through tiny incisions in the abdomen, allowing them to view and operate without a large open cut. This procedure is often used to treat conditions like colon cancer or diverticulitis. Benefits include less pain, shorter recovery time, and smaller scars. After removing the diseased part, the healthy ends are stitched together to restore normal bowel function.
