Ileocecectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the ileum (the last part of the small intestine) and the cecum (the beginning of the large intestine). This operation is often performed to treat conditions such as Crohn's disease, cancer, or obstructions affecting these areas. After the removal, the remaining sections of the intestine are typically joined together to maintain digestive continuity. This procedure can help alleviate symptoms and improve the quality of life for patients with certain gastrointestinal disorders.
