A '''colectomy''' is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of the colon. A partial colectomy (also known a segmental or hemi-colectomy) involves removing a portion of the colon, followed by the creation of an anastomosis or stoma. With more advanced disease, the entire large intestine is removed (total colectomy). Colectomies are often done laparoscopically. Common indications for the procedure include cancer, bowel obstruction, colitis, or diverticulitis. | A '''colectomy''' is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of the colon.

A colectomy is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of the colon. A partial colectomy (also known a segmental or hemi-colectomy) involves removing a portion of the colon, followed by the creation of an anastomosis or stoma. With more advanced disease, the entire large intestine is removed (total colectomy). Colectomies are often done laparoscopically or robotically. Common indications for the procedure include cancer, bowel obstruction, colitis, or diverticulitis.
Preoperative management
Patient evaluation
| System | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Neurologic | |
| Cardiovascular | Bowel rupture can cause sepsis or septic shock and hemodynamic instability. |
| Pulmonary | If bowel obstruction and abdominal dissension, there may be impaired diaphragmatic excursion, which could negatively impact FRC and result in more rapid desaturations. Ensure adequate preoxygenation |
| Gastrointestinal | Bowel obstruction increases risk for aspiration. Consider NG tube to decompress stomach. |
| Hematologic | Anemia can result from cancer, chronic inflammation and GI blood loss. Dehydration can cause hemoconcentration and mask anemia. GI malabsorption can impair coagulation system. |
| Renal | If oral intake reduced or there's been vomiting, there may be electrolyte abnormalities. Potential for metabolic acidosis in patients with diarrhea or having a bowel prep. |
| Endocrine | |
| Other |
Labs and studies
- CBC
- BMP / Electrolytes
- Coags
- Consider T&S or T&C
Operating room setup
- NGT/OGT
- Warming blanket
Patient preparation and premedication
- Patients often have bowel prep
- Patients typically dehydrated and may have electrolyte abnormalities
- Consider pre-loading patients that are hypovolemic
- Presurgical ERAS protocol
- Consider preop acetaminophen / gabapentin / celecoxib
- Evaluate for anemia and consider corrective options, if needed
- Verify desired pre-incision antibiotics
Regional and neuraxial techniques
- Consider truncal block
- Consider thoracic epidural (for open procedures)[1]
- Improved post-op pain, earlier return of bowel function, faster ambulation, improved dietary tolerance
Intraoperative management
Monitoring and access
- Typically only 1 PIV for laparoscopic and 2 for open cases
- Upgrade IV access if anticipate more significant blood loss or fluid shifts
- Confirm IVs still good after tucking arms
Induction and airway management
- RSI if bowel obstruction, distended abdomen, urgent/emergent, or non-NPO cases
- +/- cricoid pressure
- +/- removal of a pre-existing NG tube prior to induction
- Potential for hypotension if patient hypovolemic or septic
- Consider co-loading fluids
- Consider pre-emptive vasopressor administrator with induction (or phenylephrine drip on standby)
Positioning
- Supine
- May need steep Trendelenburg or Reverse Trendelenburg
- Possible lithotomy
Maintenance and surgical considerations
- General endotracheal anesthesia +/- epidural (for open cases)
- Standard maintenance (avoid N2O)
- Run epidural if present
- Maintain euvolemia
- Avoid excessive hypovolemia or hypervolemia
- Individualized, stroke-volume-guided fluid administration[2]
- Administer fluids towards a specified goal
- Fluid losses can be significant (particularly for open cases)
- Blood loss, third-spacing, insensible losses
- Maintain normothermia
- Be particularly vigilant in open cases, where heat losses are greater
- Place OG tube (or NG if going to be left in post-operatively)
- Consider opiate-sparing analgesia
Emergence
- Typically extubate, depending on patient's hemodynamics, fluid status, respiratory status, neurologic status, etc.
- PONV prophylaxis
Postoperative management
Disposition
- Typically go to PACU
- May require ICU, depending on magnitude of surgery and/or patient condition
Pain management
- Multi-modal pain management
- Epidural / PCA
- Consider non-opiate adjuncts
Potential complications
- Hemorrhage
- Visceral injuries
- Anastomotic leak
- Sepsis / Septic shock
- Potential for hemodynamic instability due to evolving sepsis
- Aspiration
- VTE
- PONV
Procedure variants
| Open colectomy | Laparoscopic colectomy | |
|---|---|---|
| Unique considerations | More fluid shifts, more insensible fluid loss, higher bleeding risk, more pain | |
| Position | Supine | Supine |
| Surgical time | 1-3 hours | 1-3 hours |
| EBL | 100-200 mL (although can be much higher, depending on degree of pathology, technical complexity, and patient factors) | <100 |
| Postoperative disposition | PACU | PACU |
| Pain management | Pain typically high. Consider multi-modal pain regimen, epidural anesthesia, PCA | Pain typically moderate |
