Having laparoscopic surgery to remove ascending colon due to 6cm mass that thankfully has not spread. how long does the procedure usually take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: I always tell patients that procedure length can really vary from operation to operation. I would guess 2-3 hours. That time will matter more to your family, though. If the operation is being done carefully with minimal trauma to tissues, time matters less.
