Enterectomy

Enterectomy (Enterectomy, from Latin enter (intestinum) - small intestine) is the surgical removal of part of the small intestine (segment).

Depending on the reason for which an enterectomy is performed, it can be partial or complete. A partial enterectomy involves removing a small segment of the small intestine, while a complete enterectomy involves removing the entire segment.

Enterectomy is performed for a variety of diseases and conditions that require removal of part or all of the small intestine. For example, this may be necessary if there are tumors, diverticula, ulcers, or other damage to the small intestine. Enterectomy may also be performed for intestinal obstruction, in which part of the small intestine may be compressed by other organs or tissues.

One of the most common indications for enterectomy is the treatment of small bowel cancer. In this case, removing the affected part of the intestine reduces the risk of cancer spreading to other organs and tissues.

In addition, enterectomy may be performed in the presence of intestinal infections such as salmonellosis, shigellosis and others, which can be caused by bacteria, parasites or viruses. In these cases, an enterectomy removes the infected part of the intestine and prevents further spread of the infection.

Complications such as bleeding, infection, bowel dysfunction, and others may occur after an enterectomy. Therefore, before performing the operation, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the patient to determine possible risks and choose the optimal treatment method.

In general, enterectomy is a major surgical procedure that may be necessary for a variety of small intestinal conditions. However, if performed correctly and the treatment method is chosen, it can help preserve the health and life of the patient.



An enterectomy is a surgical procedure in which part of the small intestine is removed. Such an operation may be necessary in the following cases:

  1. Intestinal obstruction.
  2. Tumor in the small intestine.
  3. Bleeding from the small intestine.
  4. Infectious bowel disease.
  5. Intestinal injury.
  6. Intestinal obstruction.
  7. Other diseases that require removal of part of the intestine.

Enterectomy is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on which part of the small intestine will be removed, the doctor determines the method of operation. This may be a laparoscopic method, where the surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and passes instruments through them to the affected area of ​​​​the intestine. Or it may be open surgery, where the doctor makes a large incision in the abdomen to gain access to the intestines. After the operation, the patient remains in the hospital for several days, then he is discharged home.
