@jasmineLOVESyou2 Good luck with your surgery. There's a lot of people out there who can give you all sorts of info about what the procedure is like and how they personally found the recovery. Check out agirlwithguts[dot]tumblr[dot]com and feel free to ask her any questions and she'll answer them or point you in the direction of someone who can. I know that doctors aren't always in the best position to explain exactly what it feels like.
@AndromedaChao2 Thanks for your feedback, and you are correct - there are no villi on the colonic epithelial cells. What we show at :39 is a conceptual representation of the simple columnar cells lining the colon, but they do look sort of like villi. It might be more accurate to show the junctions looking a little tighter and the outer edges flatter, so we'll put that on our upgrade list. Thanks again!
In certain cases though, there may be an underlying problem with the section of bowel that's causing it not to function properly (paralytic ileus), thus causing the fecal obstruction. That section would need to be removed. In addition, if the blockage isn't detected soon, it can kill off the neighboring colon tissue.... thus needing to be removed.
I was not thinking of an anatomical block (eg a membrane of tissue). I was thinking more along the lines of what the picture at that moment suggests - a foreign object stuck in place. And given that the only thing I can think of that would end up inside the colon is fecal matter, which is, even dried, fairly easily broken up, removing a section seems overkill, and worse, since the section being removed serves a purpose, it is not simply unnecessary, but a net loss.
Anybody know (and I mean a professional!) to what extent would be the newly formed link in the intestine would be susceptible to damage? and why are you encouraged to move shortly after the operation?
@LukeGeoDude : As in most surgeries general anesthesia is administered; this agent causes what is called paralytic illus which means your gut is asleep. Ambulation or walking increases peristalsis (involuntary contraction of the GI tract), which aides transport of material going through. Ambulation is also incouraged post-op because it dramatically reduces the risk of getting a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is a clot forming in a vein which can cause death if clot breaks and goes to lungs.
i think its funny how most removal operations seem like plumbing work, like if a piece of pipe is messed up they remove and replace or other such things XD
i'm having that done in March.. i'm kinda scared D:

The colon does not have any villi in its epithelium, doesn't it?

Wait...why cut out a section if it is blocked? Why not just go in and remove the blockage? If it is stool or the like, a water jet should suffice...

@1RadicalOne A blocked section would be cut out if there is an anatomy defection, like most of the reasons stated in the video.

It looks so neat and pretty at 0:18! Too bad it doesn't look way in reality.

but when it has been sowed together there be some kind of flap turned inside and cant that cause blockage then?

@barrowscasper12 No, it doesn't affect anything enough to cause a problem.
