Hello, it all depends on what portion of the colon is being resected, the approach used (laparoscopic vs open vs robotic), and how quickly you are able to eat and move your bowels post-operatively. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Typically 2-4 days depending on the technique, indication for surgery, portion of the colon to be removed, and any previous surgeries. If it is done emergently, the time in the hospital usually doubles.
It depends up to 10 days.
Usually 2-5 days but this is best answered by a surgeon.
