Colectomy (Colon Resection) Introduction

A colectomy is a surgical procedure to remove part or all of the colon. It is performed to treat conditions such as colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or diverticulitis. The surgery can be done through open or laparoscopic techniques depending on the patient’s condition and the extent of colon removal.

Protecting the Operative Field – The Role of Nivda Drapes and Hospital Disposables in Colectomy

In colectomy procedures, maintaining a sterile abdominal field is essential due to the risk of contamination from intestinal contents. Nivda Surgical Drapes provide full-body coverage with specially designed fenestrations to access the abdominal cavity while isolating non-operative areas. Nivda Sterile Surgical Gowns, Gloves, and Face Masks safeguard the surgical team during bowel handling and anastomosis. Instrument Wrapping Sheets, Back Table Covers, and Mayo Stand Covers ensure all tools remain sterile during multiple instrument exchanges. Absorbent Floor Mats and Plain Sheets help manage fluid spillage and maintain operating room hygiene. By using Nivda Drapes and Disposables, surgeons create a controlled sterile zone, reducing infection risks and ensuring safer colon resections.
