Anterior Resection
This operation is performed for a cancer low in the bowel or if you have diverticular disease.
The operation is performed through an incision on your abdomen. The upper part of the rectum is removed but the anal sphincters are left intact. The remaining colon is sewn onto the remaining rectum (See diagram).
You may need a temporary loop ileostomy for a while to allow the colon to heal.
