Colon disease can be approached laparoscopically in certain situations:<\/p>\n
\u25cf Recurrent diverticulosis
\n\u25cf Cancer
\n\u25cf Diverting colostomies<\/p>\n
The need for colon surgery is often preceded by a colonoscopy which is performed to identify and diagnose a serious condition that is within your colon. Symptoms of large intestine disease commonly include the following:<\/p>\n
\u25cf New onset of constipation and\/or diarrhea.
\n\u25cf Blood or mucus in the stool.
\n\u25cf A narrowing or a change in the caliber of your stool – it may even look ribbon-like.
\n\u25cf Recurrent and constant lower abdominal pain frequently just left of the midline.<\/p>\n
The diagnosis of colon disease is frequently made with the help of your family doctor and\/or a gastroenterologist. Some tests may be required to diagnose a colon abnormality and may include the following:<\/p>\n
\u25cf Barium enema – a series of x-rays of your abdomen after contrast material is placed within your rectum.
\n\u25cf Colonoscopy – the placement of a flexible tube in your rectum that is advanced through your colon that is used to see if \u00a0there is an abnormality within the colon.
\n\u25cf CAT scans – an x-ray that is used to see in your abdomen without surgery, looking for a tumor or an inflammatory condition of the large intestine.<\/p>\n
Should you have a colon condition that needs surgery, a consultation with one of our surgeons may be of benefit to you to determine if you are a candidate for a laparoscopic approach to your colonic condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
