What is the life expectancy for a tailless manx cat after having a subtotal colectomy surgery?

∙ 11y ago
My cat - not a full Manx - had the surgery when she was about 7 years old. She had suffered for many years with megacolon, and the surgery was the only option to save her life after the medications and everything else had failed. She lived a normal, healthy, active life until she died just recently at 13 years old.

Abdominal distension after surgery?
related to herniaDrainage lines inserted during surgery may result in abdominal hernia similar to inguinal hernia (much lower on the torso) in treatment. The gap in the muscle tissue is reinforced with fabric. This requires a surgical procedure and suspension of strenuous activities for a few weeks. Related to Abdominal Surgery (colectomy in this case)Abdominal surgery causes reduction in peristalsis because it usually involves handling the bowels manually - this is the natural response of the bowels, to stop peristalsis. Consequently, gases and fluids accumulate and stretch out the lower bowels (referring to colectomy in this case) which causes the muscles to weaken and so peristalsis cannot continue as normal - this allows more gases to accumulate. In effect, all the accumulated gases causes distension of the abdomen. one way to prevent this is using a nasogastric tube to suction out stomach fluids and gases soon after surgery.
Should you still have pain a year after a colectomy?
Pain comes from many sources after surgery - cut or nicked nerve, tendon, muscle, scar tissuem etc. Colon surgery takes a long time to heal, so it's not unusual to have pain only a year past. If it's accompanied by a fever, then you should be calling a doctor.

My husband has had a flare up of ulcerative colitis and has been found to have a tumor he will have to have surgery and we are looking for advice on which surgery to have?
If he has colitis and a bowel tumour, the best option will be to have a total colectomy. A colostomy is managed easily, but you can have the option of having a pouch. Pouch surgery has its own complication like increased frequency of bowel, urgency, inflammation of the pouch called pouchitis and stricture formation requiring dilatation. In reality having a colostomy is better as it causes less problems and recovery is quicker.
