Partial Colectomy
Removal of a diseased colon segment with primary anastomosis — for diverticulitis, colon cancer, and colonic disease.
What is Partial Colectomy?
Partial colectomy is the surgical removal of a diseased segment of the large intestine, followed by reconnection of the healthy bowel ends to restore normal continuity. The specific section removed is named by its anatomical location — right hemicolectomy, sigmoid colectomy, etc. Dr. Tagore Mohan Grandhi performs laparoscopic partial colectomy for diverticulitis, colon cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease. Complete mesocolic excision (CME) with systematic lymphadenectomy is performed for cancer, the oncological gold standard.
How the Procedure Works
Pre-operative Staging
CT scan for staging, colonoscopy for tissue diagnosis, and MDT review in cancer cases to plan resection extent and approach.
Laparoscopic Mobilisation
Relevant colon segment mobilised laparoscopically. Mesenteric blood vessels and mesentery identified and secured.
CME with Lymphadenectomy
For cancer, complete mesocolic excision with central vascular ligation and maximum lymph node harvest to the oncological standard.
Anastomosis
Bowel ends reconnected by a stapled anastomosis. Anastomotic integrity tested intraoperatively.
Recovery
Oral fluids on day two. Discharged in 3–5 days. Adjuvant chemotherapy planned if indicated following MDT histopathology review.
Outcomes
Who Needs This Treatment?
- →Laparoscopic — smaller incisions, less pain, faster discharge than open surgery
- →CME ensures maximum lymph node harvest for cancer clearance and staging
- →Primary anastomosis avoids stoma in planned elective colectomy cases
- →MDT review ensures every cancer case receives personalised adjuvant treatment
Partial colectomy with complete mesocolic excision gives colon cancer patients the best oncological outcome through the smallest incisions. For diverticulitis, it provides a definitive cure.
