Resection of the small intestine in Casablanca

Visceral and digestive surgeon

The goal of the operation is to remove part of this intestine because you have a disease benign (polyp, narrowing, inflammatory disease) or malignant that only surgery can deal at that point with evolution. The operation can be performed by laparoscopy (operation under general anesthesia and with the help of a camera with small incisions ranging from 5 to 20 mm) or by opening the abdomen (laparotomy). After removing the piece of intestine it is necessary to restore its continuity by sewing or stapling both ends (anastomosis). Sometimes in rare cases often in case of difficulties the surgeon will decide not to restore the continuity and to divert the stool through an anus artificial for a few weeks.
