Laparoscopic anterior resection is a specialized surgical procedure performed to treat diseases affecting the rectum and lower portion of the colon, particularly rectal cancer and large benign tumors. This procedure removes the diseased segment while preserving bowel continuity and maintaining normal digestive function.

Using minimally invasive techniques, surgeons operate through small incisions with the assistance of a high-definition camera. The affected portion of the rectum is carefully removed, and the remaining colon is reconnected to restore bowel continuity. The laparoscopic approach offers improved visualization, reduced blood loss, less postoperative pain, and quicker recovery compared to open surgery.

Preoperative planning includes colonoscopy, imaging scans, and staging assessments to ensure precise treatment. After surgery, patients are closely monitored for bowel function recovery and guided on nutrition and activity. Most patients experience faster return to daily activities and improved postoperative comfort.
