Intestinal surgery refers to medical procedures performed on the intestines, which are part of the digestive system. This type of surgery may be necessary to treat conditions such as appendicitis, Crohn's disease, or intestinal obstruction. The goal is to remove damaged sections, repair issues, or improve function. Surgeons use various techniques, including laparoscopic surgery, which involves small incisions and specialized instruments. Recovery time can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient's overall health. Post-surgery, patients may need to follow specific dietary guidelines to aid healing and restore normal function.
