How Laparoscopic Colectomy (Including D2/D3 Dissection) is performed
Under general anesthesia, a laparoscope and energy devices are inserted through small abdominal incisions. D2/D3 lymph node dissection is performed as needed. The diseased bowel segment is separated, and blood vessels are treated. The specimen is removed and sent for pathology. Depending on the situation, an anastomosis is performed in vivo or ex vivo through a small incision. Drainage is placed if necessary. Postoperative monitoring includes vital signs and bowel function, with the goal of restoring eating and activity and clarifying staging. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
