How is the procedure done?

• Three or four small incisions are made in the abdomen to insert the camera attached laparoscope and other laparoscopic tools.
• Carbon dioxide gas is inflated into the abdominal cavity to provide room to work.
• The diseased part of the colon is identified and carefully dissected and removed through a larger incision made towards the end of the surgery.
• All the instruments are then removed and the incisions are sutured with stitches or surgical tape.
