Cuidados Pré-operatórios e Complicações Pós-operatórias na Colectomia Direita

Abstract

Introduction: Right colectomy is indicated to treat conditions such as colon cancer and Crohn's disease, aiming to remove the affected part of the intestine and lymph nodes. Preoperative preparation, considering factors such as nutritional status and comorbidities, is crucial to minimize complications. Advanced imaging technologies assist in surgical planning. Postoperative management and long-term follow-up are essential to improve the recovery and quality of life of patients. Methodology: The study conducted a review of articles published between 2014 and 2024 on right colectomy, focusing on preoperative care, postoperative complications and a multidisciplinary approach. Original articles were selected, fully accessible, and critically evaluated for methodological quality and practical applicability. The analysis identified the best practices to optimize surgical results and patient recovery. Results and discussions: Right colectomy is essential to treat conditions such as colon cancer, requiring detailed preoperative preparation and careful management of postoperative complications. Success depends on clinical optimization, including the improvement of nutritional status and the management of comorbidities, as well as the use of advanced imaging technologies for surgical planning. Complications such as infections and anastomosis dehiscence are common, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to ensure recovery and reduce mortality. Final considerations: The study emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach in the management of patients undergoing right colectomy. Detailed preoperative preparation and the use of advanced imaging technologies are crucial to reduce complications. The multidisciplinary approach in the postoperative period, involving collaboration between several professionals, is essential to mitigate complications and improve recovery. Strict monitoring and preventive strategies are fundamental to improve quality of life and reduce mortality.
