Surgery for early-stage colon cancer Dallas
If your colon cancer Dallas is very small, your doctor may recommend a minimally invasive
approach to surgery, such as:
Removing polyps during
a colonoscopy (polypectomy).
If your cancer is small, localized, completely
contained within a polyp and in a very early stage, y.our doctor may be able to
remove it completely during a colonoscopy.
Endoscopic mucosal
resection.
Larger polyps might be removed during
colonoscopy using special tools to remove the polyp and a small amount of the
inner lining of the colon in a procedure called an endoscopic mucosal
resection.
Minimally invasive
surgery (laparoscopic surgery).
Polyps that can't be removed during a
colonoscopy may be removed using laparoscopic surgery. In this procedure, your surgeon performs the operation through
several small incisions in your abdominal wall, inserting instruments with
attached cameras that display your colon on a video monitor.
