Minimally invasive surgery typically results in smaller, less noticeable scars. Traditional open surgery may leave larger scars, but our expert surgeons focus on minimizing scarring through advanced techniques.

Patients may spend 1 to 7 nights in the hospital after the surgery, depending on the complexity of the procedure and their recovery progress. 

 

To prepare for colon surgery, follow pre-surgery instructions, arrange transportation and support, prepare your home, discuss medications with your doctor, and adopt a healthy lifestyle.

After colon surgery, follow-up care includes regular doctor visits, wound care, monitoring for complications, dietary adjustments, gradual return to activity, medication management, stoma care (if applicable), and possibly long-term monitoring or physical therapy.
