Patient Testimonial for Rectal Cancer Surgery

Testimonial by Mrs. Kanchan Saha

Rectal cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the cells of the rectum, the final part of the large intestine that connects to the anus. Causes of rectal cancer can include genetic factors, lifestyle choices such as smoking or a diet high in processed foods, and certain medical conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease. Symptoms may include changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, abdominal pain or discomfort, unintended weight loss, and fatigue. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of imaging tests such as CT scans or MRI, colonoscopy, and biopsy. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these approaches, depending on the stage and location of the cancer.

Laparoscopic Ultra Low Anterior Resection is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove rectal cancer located close to the anus while preserving the sphincter muscles and maintaining bowel function. During the procedure, several small incisions are made in the abdomen, through which a camera and specialized instruments are inserted. The surgeon then carefully removes the diseased portion of the rectum and reconnects the remaining healthy bowel to the anus. This approach offers advantages such as reduced postoperative pain, faster recovery time, and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional open surgery.

Mrs. Kanchan Saha from West Bengal successfully underwent Rectal Cancer Surgery at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Pavan Addala, Consultant Surgical Gastroenterologist and Bariatric Surgeon.
