Colonic Tumor Removal

A colon tumor refers to abnormal growths of cells inside the colon. If a tumor spreads to the lower part of the colon, it is called colorectal cancer. Some colon tumors are non-cancerous, referred to as benign polyps, but if left untreated, they may progress into cancerous tumors. Colonoscopy helps identify and remove these benign polyps.

To screen for colonic tumors, diagnostic tests such as virtual colonoscopy, fecal blood tests, sigmoidoscopy, digital rectal exams, and double-contrast barium enemas are commonly performed.

Possible Signs of Colon Cancer Include:
• Changes in bowel habits
• Unexplained weight loss
• Blood in the stool
• Persistent fatigue
• Abdominal pain

Surgery remains the primary treatment for colorectal cancer. It involves removing the tumor, the affected colon section, and surrounding tissues, including lymph nodes. After surgery, the healthy ends of the intestine are reattached. Patients may also require pre- or post-surgery treatments, such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy, to shrink tumors and facilitate easier removal.

Diagnosis

Diagnosing benign tumors of the colon and rectum involves:
1. Complete Examination: A thorough physical examination is conducted.
2. Endoscopy and Biopsy: Your surgeon may perform a colonoscopy or anoscopy to examine specific segments of the colon and collect biopsy samples for microscopic analysis.
3. Imaging Studies: Tests like X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans, and ultrasounds help determine the size and location of the tumors.

Treatment

The goal of treatment is to remove the tumor using appropriate surgical techniques.

Endoscopic Surgery:

This minimally invasive technique uses a scope and camera to examine and treat the colon without making incisions. Procedures may include colonoscopy, anoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, or rigid sigmoidoscopy. Endoscopic surgery reduces pain, discomfort, and recovery time.

Minimally Invasive Colorectal Procedures:

These procedures offer faster recovery, minimal incisions, and less bleeding. Examples include laparoscopic colectomy, repair of rectal prolapse, and transanal endoscopic microsurgery.

Open Abdominal Surgeries:

In more complex cases, surgeries such as bowel resections, segmental colectomies, low anterior resections, and rectal prolapse repairs may be required.
