Symptoms of Total Colectomy

Common signs that you may need Total Colectomy include persistent pain, discomfort, or symptoms that have not responded to non-surgical treatment. A surgeon can evaluate whether surgery is the right option for you.

How is Total Colectomy Diagnosed?

Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, imaging (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound), and sometimes blood tests. Your surgeon will review all reports before recommending Total Colectomy.

Treatment Options: Non-Surgical vs Surgical
