HOW TO DO?
Colon cancer surgery is usually performed using open surgery or laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery uses smaller incisions for surgery and therefore the recovery process can be faster. Open surgery may require a larger incision and the recovery period may be longer. During surgery, the cancerous area is removed and the normal function of the intestines is then restored using another option, such as ligation of the intestines or a colostomy.
