About Anterior Resection

An anterior resection is a major surgical procedure performed by general surgeons to remove a portion of the sigmoid colon and upper rectum, typically to treat cancer or other serious conditions. The surgery involves accessing the abdomen, carefully dissecting and removing the diseased segment of the bowel, and then reconnecting the healthy ends of the colon to the remaining rectum (an anastomosis). This procedure aims to preserve normal bowel function and continence by sparing the anal sphincter muscles. It is often performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic-assisted techniques, which can lead to smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Patients require careful pre-operative evaluation and post-operative management to ensure optimal outcomes.

Key Highlights

Curative treatment for colorectal cancer and other serious conditions.Often performed using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic/robotic) for reduced trauma.Aims to preserve normal bowel function and continence by sparing the anal sphincter.Allows for precise removal of diseased tissue while reconnecting healthy bowel.Can significantly improve quality of life and long-term survival for eligible patients.

Who is this surgery for?

Colorectal cancer located in the sigmoid colon or upper rectum.
Large or complex benign polyps (adenomas) that cannot be removed via colonoscopy.
Diverticular disease with complications like stricture, fistula, or recurrent inflammation.
Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) unresponsive to medical therapy.
Rectal prolapse or other structural abnormalities requiring surgical correction.
Traumatic injury to the sigmoid colon or rectum.

How to prepare

Complete medical evaluation including blood tests, imaging (CT scan), and colonoscopy.
Bowel preparation (clear liquid diet and laxatives) to empty the colon.
Discontinuation of certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised by the surgeon.
Pre-operative counseling to discuss the procedure, risks, and recovery expectations.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before surgery to ensure an empty stomach.
Administration of prophylactic antibiotics to prevent infection.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding during or after the procedure.
Infection at the surgical site or within the abdomen.
Leakage from the reconnection site (anastomotic leak), a serious complication.
Damage to nearby structures like nerves, bladder, or ureters.
Formation of scar tissue leading to bowel obstruction (adhesions).
Potential need for a temporary or permanent colostomy.
Blood clots in the legs (DVT) or lungs (pulmonary embolism).
General anesthesia risks.

Recovery & hospital stay

Gradual introduction of liquids and then solid foods as bowel function returns.
Pain is managed with medications; early mobilization is encouraged to prevent complications.
Incision care instructions will be provided to keep the site clean and dry.
Activity restrictions (no heavy lifting, strenuous exercise) for several weeks.
Follow-up appointments to monitor healing and discuss pathology results.
Possible referral to an ostomy nurse if a stoma was created.
Long-term follow-up may include periodic colonoscopies for cancer surveillance.

Typical hospital stay: 5-10 days
Expected recovery time: 4-6 weeks for basic activities, 3-6 months for full recovery
