FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Colorectal Cancer Surgery at Charak Hospital, Lucknow.

Early signs include change in bowel habits (diarrhoea or constipation), blood in stool, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, and feeling that the bowel doesn't empty completely. Colonoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosis.
Yes. At Charak Hospital, most colorectal cancer surgeries are performed laparoscopically. This results in smaller incisions, less blood loss, faster recovery (3–5 days), and equivalent oncological outcomes compared to open surgery.
Sphincter-saving surgery removes the cancerous portion of the rectum while preserving the anal sphincter, allowing the patient to pass stools normally. It is possible in 80–85% of rectal cancer cases, avoiding a permanent colostomy bag.
Most patients do not need a permanent colostomy. A temporary ileostomy may be formed to protect the join (anastomosis) and is usually reversed after 8–12 weeks. Only patients with very low rectal cancers requiring abdominoperineal resection need a permanent stoma.
Stage I colorectal cancer has a 5-year survival rate of over 90%. Stage II is 70–85%, Stage III 40–70% with surgery plus chemotherapy, and Stage IV (metastatic) varies with treatment. Early detection and surgery significantly improve outcomes.
