Laparoscopic Low Anterior Resection (Lap LAR) and Ileostomy are advanced surgical procedures used to treat cancers and other conditions of the lower colon and rectum.
Lap LAR involves removing the affected lower rectum through a minimally invasive approach. An Ileostomy, created in some cases, is a surgically made abdominal opening (stoma) that diverts waste into a collection bag to protect the healing bowel. This combined approach is also called the Low Anterior Resection and Stoma Procedure.
At Manipal Hospital, Lap LAR and Ileostomy Treatment in EM Bypass, Kolkata, are performed by experienced surgical gastroenterologists using advanced laparoscopic techniques to improve recovery and outcomes.
Low Anterior Resection and Stoma Procedure in EM Bypass, Kolkata, are performed to remove diseased bowel segments, alleviate symptoms, and reduce the risk of recurrence or complications. They are recommended for:
Early- or mid-stage rectal cancer, especially involving the lower rectum
Benign rectal polyps are unsuitable for endoscopic removal
Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis
Large rectal growths causing obstruction or narrowing
Depending on the stage and nature of the disease, Chemotherapy or Targeted Therapy may be recommended. These treatments can help restore digestive function, improve quality of life, and ensure the cancer is effectively removed.
Before Lap LAR and Ileostomy Treatment in EM Bypass, Kolkata, the medical team conducts blood tests, Colonoscopy, and imaging such as MRI or CT scans to determine the disease extent. A pre-anaesthesia fitness evaluation is completed. Patients receive clear instructions on fasting, bowel preparation, and medication adjustments, including stopping blood thinners when necessary. The team explains potential risks, stoma care (if required), and the recovery plan before obtaining informed consent.
Low Anterior Resection and Stoma Procedure in EM Bypass, Kolkata, is performed under general anaesthesia using the following steps:
The surgeon makes small abdominal incisions and inserts a laparoscope, a thin, camera-guided instrument, to view the surgical area.
The affected portion of the rectum is removed, and the colon is reconnected to the remaining rectum when possible.
An Ileostomy may be created through a small abdominal opening to protect the surgical site during healing.
The entire procedure usually takes 2-4 hours.
After the Lap LAR and Ileostomy Treatment in EM Bypass, Kolkata, the patients are transferred to the recovery area for close monitoring. Pain is controlled with medication, and intravenous fluids are given before gradually introducing a soft diet. Trained nurses maintain the stoma site and manage the ileostomy bag. Doctors provide guidance on stoma care, wound healing, and medications. Most patients remain in the hospital for five to seven days. Follow-up visits monitor recovery progress, and ileostomy reversal is typically considered six to twelve weeks after the initial surgery.
