A hemicolectomy involves the removal of part of the colon. After surgery, you may experience changes in bowel habits, diet modifications, and fatigue. Your healthcare team will provide guidance on managing these changes and adapting to life after surgery.
The signs should be diagnosed by a doctor with a series of x-rays and tests, but the symptoms are bloating, constipation, severe lower back pain and nausea. A hemicolectomy is given to patients with severe bowel problems, bowel cancer and prolapsed bowels.
The medical term for the surgical removal of half of the colon is "hemicolectomy." It is a procedure that involves removing a portion of the colon to treat conditions such as colon cancer or inflammatory bowel disease.
