Laparoscopic Low Anterior Resection

Laparoscopic low anterior resection treats rectal cancer or other lower rectal diseases by removing part of the rectum and reconnecting the colon to the anus. Symptoms include rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits, pelvic pain, or weight loss. Using small incisions and a camera, this minimally invasive surgery preserves sphincter function, avoiding a permanent colostomy in many cases. Risks include anastomotic leakage, infection, or temporary bowel dysfunction. Recovery involves a hospital stay of a few days and weeks of healing, with dietary adjustments to promote bowel regularity. Post-surgery, patients may need chemotherapy or radiation for cancer. Regular follow-ups monitor for recurrence. The laparoscopic approach offers faster recovery, less pain, and better cosmetic outcomes, making it ideal for eligible patients with early-stage rectal cancer.
