Male Colon Colectomy

Description

A 3D model of the male colon showing a colectomy, with a segment of bowel removed and the remaining ends either anastomosed or diverted. The model illustrates the surgical anatomy of large bowel resection, showing which portion of the colon has been excised and how the remaining bowel is reconnected. Colectomy is performed for colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticular complications, and other conditions. The extent of resection depends on the tumor location and its blood supply, since the mesenteric vessels are divided at specific points to achieve adequate margins and lymph node harvest. The model supports surgical education, patient counseling before colectomy, and training on bowel anastomosis techniques. Reviewed by a medical advisory board. Ready for rendering, real-time, and 3D printing.
