I don't believe you can live without it unless only part is removed. The colon, large intestine, keeps you from dehydrating by pulling the water out of digested matter creating feces.yes that is the official term for it.

Most likely painful death. It depends on how they are removed and for how long.

If your large intestine was surgically removed, you might need a colostomy bag. This is a bag that goes from your small intestine (in this circumstance) to the bag, to remove feces.

What happens in large intestine?

The large intestine is attached to the posterior to the small intestine and as you maybe already know the small intestine is where food wastes go and bile is secreted into. The large intestine reabsorbs water from the ingested food particles before they enter the rectum and colon for excretion.


What is the organ responsible for drying out indigestible foods residue through water adsorption and the elimination of feces?

The way you have worded this question makes two answers possible. Water is removed by the kidneys but also by the large intestine. The large intestine is were waste from food is kept and compacted before elimination.


How is a small intestine attached surgically to rectum?

The small intestine is usually attached to the large intestine and that is attached to the rectum. If the large intestine is so damaged or diseased that it must be completely removed, the surgeon may attach the small intestine to the rectum using sutures that eventually dissolve. The loss of the large intestine is a serious matter and may result in an iliostomy (connecting the end of the small intestine to an abdominal hole, or stoma, to which an external bag is attached) rather than to the rectum.


What happens when food gets to the intestine?

When the food is in the large intestine, the majority of the remaining water is absorbed into the blood stream. It then passes into the rectum and anal canal, where it is excreted through the anus.


Where does food go after the small intestine?
