A bowel resection is a surgical procedure in which a part of the large or small intestine is removed. It may be performed due to cancer, necrosis, enteritis, diverticular disease, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, or a block in the intestine due to scar tissue. Other reasons to perform bowel resection include traumatic injuries, precancerous polyps, and familial polyposis.[1]
Some patients require ileostomy or colostomy after this procedure.[1]
