Dr. Kishan A V – Specialist in Colon Cancer Treatment (Hemicolectomy), Bengaluru

What is Colon Cancer?

Colon cancer originates in the large intestine (colon), usually beginning as small polyps that gradually develop into malignant growths. Symptoms may include changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, abdominal cramps, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue. Early detection and surgery play a key role in effective treatment and long-term survival.

What is Hemicolectomy?

Hemicolectomy is a surgical procedure where the affected portion of the colon is removed along with surrounding lymph nodes to treat colon cancer. Depending on the tumor’s location, either a Right Hemicolectomy (removing the right side of the colon) or a Left Hemicolectomy (removing the left side) may be performed. The remaining sections of the colon are then reconnected to maintain normal digestive function.

Who Should Opt for Hemicolectomy?

Patients diagnosed with operable colon cancer, especially when localized to the right or left side of the colon, are suitable candidates for Hemicolectomy. It is often recommended for individuals with symptoms such as persistent changes in bowel movements, rectal bleeding, abdominal discomfort, or unexplained anemia.

Benefits of Hemicolectomy

• Effective removal of cancerous growth in the colon.
• Helps prevent the spread of cancer to nearby organs.
• Restores normal digestive function after surgery.
• Improves long-term survival with early diagnosis.
• Can be performed through minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques.
