The surgical removal of the large intestine is called a proctocolectomy. The procedure usually takes two or three stages to complete. This video focuses on the two-stage approach.<\/p>\n<p>During the procedure, surgeons need to create a new path for waste to leave the body. The new path they create is made by using the small intestine to form an internal pouch, often called a j pouch, which is then connected to the anus so stool can exit the body.<\/p>\n<p>Surgeons at Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado often use robotic-assisted surgery for this procedure to ensure a high level of precision and to help patients heal faster.
