MODEL RELEASED. Bowel cancer surgery. Close-up of a surgeon handling a patient's intestines in the early stages of exploratory bowel surgery. The surgery was intended to remove only a relatively small part of the colon due to the diagnosis of what was thought to be a small lesion,but when the abdomen was opened it was found that a large malignant tumour (carcinoma) was present. The surgery was changed to a Hartmann's operation that removed the tumour and the surrounding intestines (the sigmoid colon and rectum). The healthy intestine was diverted to a colostomy opening in the side of the abdomen | |
