Hello Friends,
Not everyone who has surgery to remove colorectal cancer will need to have an ostomy. When it is possible to do so, your surgeon will remove all of your cancer and reconnect your remaining intestine to the rectum or anus so that you can continue to eliminate solid waste as you always have. Newer surgical techniques permit preservation of the anal sphincter, for instance, in rectal cancer patients who would have had to have an ostomy in the past.
Thanks and Regards,
