A member asked:
Can i eat normally and would live a normal life after a colon resection due to diverticulosis? does the colon resection have to be done by open surger
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bowel surgery: Surgery for complicated diverticular disease can frequently be done laparoscopically resulting in quicker recovery. Your bowel habits might change post-op but rarely to either extreme. Most individuals resume a normal life post-op. Good luck!
