Prophylactic colectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the complete removal of the colon to prevent the development of colorectal cancer, particularly in individuals with a high risk, such as those with hereditary conditions like familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or Lynch syndrome. This procedure is typically considered when the risk of cancer is significantly elevated, and it can be a life-saving measure. Patients may need to adapt to changes in their digestive system post-surgery, and ongoing surveillance for other cancers may still be necessary.
