Depends on how much of your colon is removed, why it is removed, and what approach is taken to the removal. Generally about 2-5 days if the surgery is planned and 5-10 days if it is done as an emergency.
Depending on the extent of surgery up to 14 days.
This all depends on the technique used and the section of colon being removed. At minimum 2 nights, but typical is 3-4 nights.
It depends on the specifics of the case. Most patients can go home after 3-5 days.
