Is surgery for colonic redundancy considered major or minor?

Generally speaking, surgery for colonic redundancy is one of the larger surgeries. For patients with colonic redundancy, surgical treatment is usually laparoscopic surgery, in which the local colon is removed. Although the operation is relatively mature, some rare adverse reactions, such as abdominal adhesions, may occur during the operation, and if they occur, the difficulty of the operation will be increased, and the operation will take a relatively long time, which belongs to the larger surgery. For patients with only partial sigmoid resection, the operation takes about 3 hours and is relatively difficult. If the patient has a redundant colon and also needs to completely improve constipation at the same time, a colectomy with preservation of the ileocecal portion can be done, which takes about 5 to 6 hours and is more difficult and longer than the former, making it a larger operation. Patients suffering from colonic redundancy should go to the hospital in time, so that the doctor can formulate a surgical plan according to the condition and treat the disease as early as possible to avoid delays.
