Hemicolectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of one side of the colon, either the right or left half. It is commonly performed to treat conditions such as colon cancer, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis), or large polyps that cannot be safely removed by less invasive methods. In cases of cancer, the surgery may also include the removal of nearby lymph nodes to prevent the spread of cancer cells. The primary goal of hemicolectomy is to remove diseased or damaged sections of the colon while preserving as much of the digestive tract as possible. The procedure can be performed through open surgery or laparoscopically, depending on the severity of the condition and the patient's health. During the surgery, the diseased portion of the colon is removed, and the remaining sections are reconnected (anastomosis) to maintain normal bowel function. In some cases, a temporary or permanent colostomy (an opening in the abdominal wall) may be needed if reconnection is not immediately possible. Complications of hemicolectomy can include infection, bleeding, and leakage at the site where the colon is reconnected. There is also a risk of developing postoperative bowel obstructions or experiencing changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation. Nutritional absorption may be affected, particularly if a significant portion of the colon is removed. Despite these risks, hemicolectomy is an effective treatment for a range of conditions and can significantly improve a patient's quality of life by addressing the underlying disease.
