An incision of the large intestine, often referred to as a colotomy, is a surgical procedure where a cut is made in the wall of the colon. This procedure may be performed to remove a blockage, sample tissue for biopsy, or facilitate access during other abdominal surgeries. Colotomies can be done as part of more extensive surgeries, such as colectomies, or as standalone procedures. After the incision, the tissue is typically sutured closed or managed with a stoma, depending on the underlying condition being treated.
