My dad's rectal surgery is tomorrow. They are doing a lower rectal excision.....basically, his entire is being removed down to the anus and then the colon will be reattached at this junction. He will have an ileostomy/colectomy(?) for 3 months and hopefully no lymph nodes and he'll have the bag removed.....best case scenario.
He is soo nervous of the unknown, which is always hard......Anyone who has had this surgery could you please share with me how your surgery went, good and bad, and what my dad has to look forward to post-op? Greatly appreciated and may God bless all of you!
