A member asked:

What are some normal/abnormal effects after a colon surgery part 2?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Establish continuity: The second part of a colectomy usually refers to re establishing continuity when resection is not followed by re anastomosis. By establishing continuity there should be normal bowel movement but this could be hampered by the healing process of the anastomosis. If low down with inadequate blood supply occasionally a leak can develop or if inflammation sets in there can be a stricture.
