Right colectomy is the removal of the ascending colon and one third of the transverse colon to treat benign as well as malignant diseases of the colon. Compared with traditional open surgery, laparoscopic colectomy has many more outstanding advantages and is increasingly being applied in medicine.

Laparoscopic right colectomy is the least invasive interventional technique that allows the doctor to cut the right colon through small incisions of 1.5 cm. The scope is attached to a camera that transmits a magnified image on a screen, instruments are inserted and through other holes to perform the surgery.

Laparoscopic ileostomy to the transverse colon is often performed when right colon tumors cannot be surgically removed due to various causes. In addition, surgery is also performed in cases of ileocecal tuberculosis or intestinal adhesions.

Pancolitis is inflammation of the entire colon. Pancolitis is most commonly caused by ulcerative colitis (UC), but can also be caused by C. difficile infection, or by inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
