Segmental Bowel Resection
Surgical removal of a specific diseased segment of large or small intestine, with reconnection of healthy bowel ends — performed for cancer, severe inflammation, or localised complications.
What is Segmental Bowel Resection?
Segmental Bowel Resection is the surgical removal of a specific diseased segment of the large or small intestine, with healthy bowel ends connected together (anastomosis) to restore continuity. It is performed for colon cancer affecting a specific segment, severe localised inflammation, complications of diverticular disease, isolated Crohn's strictures, or certain bowel injuries. The surgery can be done laparoscopically or open. As an experienced laparoscopic surgeon in Hyderabad, Dr. Tejasree Vengala performs segmental bowel resection at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad, with attention to safe technique and quick recovery.
How the Procedure Works
Anaesthesia & Preparation
Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. The abdomen is prepared, and a urinary catheter is placed.
Laparoscopic or Open Access
Several small incisions are made for the laparoscopic approach, or a small open incision is used in select cases.
Bowel Mobilisation
The diseased segment is carefully mobilised, with attention to preserving important blood vessels and lymph nodes (especially in cancer surgery).
Resection & Anastomosis
The diseased segment is removed with appropriate margins, and the healthy bowel ends are joined together using staplers or sutures.
Closure & Recovery
The incisions are closed in layers. Patients are mobilised the next day, started on liquids, and discharged in 4–6 days.

Factors That Influence Segmental Bowel Resection Cost
The overall cost may depend on:
- →
Underlying bowel condition: The reason for surgery, such as inflammatory bowel disease, bowel obstruction, tumours, diverticular disease, or other intestinal conditions, may influence treatment planning and surgical complexity.
- →
Extent of bowel resection: The location and length of the bowel segment requiring removal and the type of bowel reconnection (anastomosis) performed may affect the overall cost.
- →
Pre-operative evaluation: Required clinical examination, colonoscopy or other investigations, imaging when needed, blood tests, and medical assessments before surgery may influence the cost.
- →
Surgical approach: The cost may vary depending on whether the procedure is performed through an open, laparoscopic, or robotic approach.
- →
Additional procedures: If procedures such as stoma creation, abscess drainage, fistula treatment, or management of complications are required, the cost may vary.
- →
Hospital stay and post-operative care: The duration of admission, medicines, nutritional support, wound care, dietary guidance, and follow-up requirements may influence the final estimate.
