“Laparoscopic small bowel resection” refers to the surgical technique of removing an abnormal or diseased portion of the intestine (small intestine) and then restoring the digestive tract by laparoscopic abdominal surgery.

The small intestine is where the body's main digestion and absorption of food occurs. In the human body, the small intestine is located behind the stomach and before the large intestine (also called the colon). In adults, the length of this part ranges from 5-9m, about 1.5-3cm wide.

Small bowel tumors can block the flow of food and affect digestion. When the tumor is large, it can cause intestinal obstruction, causing the patient to have abdominal pain. In addition, the long-term tumor bleeding will cause anemia.

Small bowel tumors account for 1-5% of tumors in the gastrointestinal tract and are rare and difficult to diagnose. Large bowel tumors can block the flow of food and obstruct the intestines, causing abdominal pain. There are many treatment methods for small bowel tumors, so which cases need to remove small bowel tumors?

Black stools are a common phenomenon, which can be due to the color of the food or the use of drugs. However, the cause of black stools cannot be ruled out as some serious medical condition or medical condition going on in the body.

Small bowel tumors are rare and difficult to detect and diagnose in the early stages. Small bowel CT scan is an imaging diagnostic technique that allows the search and detection of small bowel tumor lesions.

Although the small intestine is a large part of the digestive tract, small intestine tumors are very rare, accounting for only about 3% to 5% of all digestive tract tumors. Unlike esophageal, gastric and colorectal tumors, most small intestine tumors are diagnosed only by morphological examination. With current medical conditions in Vietnam, X-ray and computed tomography are the best and most common means of diagnosing small intestine tumors.

Laparoscopic small bowel resection is indicated when the small bowel is abnormal or diseased. Laparoscopic surgery has many advantages over traditional open surgery, patients recover quickly, hospital stay is short, and the aesthetic factor is guaranteed because the surgical scar is very small and heals quickly.
