In a laparoscopic colectomy, your surgeon will use leading-edge minimally invasive equipment to gently enter your abdomen and treat abnormalities that are impacting your colon. Using sophisticated tools, your surgeon will briefly bring your colon outside your body, where it can be treated under extreme care before being placed back into your abdomen to heal. We use laparoscopic colectomies to treat colon cancer and inflammatory bowel disease, as well as control irregular bleeding and dislodge bowel obstructions.
