The most reliable sign that the patient has significant postoperative pain is pain located in the abdomen, requiring up to two days of fasting.

<h3>What is the procedure for an intestinal resection?</h3>

The procedure is performed in the hospital under general anesthesia. During surgery, some parts of the intestine need to be mobilized. This means that the surgeon cuts the membranes that hold the intestines in place, so they can be moved and stretched. After that, he removes the diseased or damaged part of the organ.

Once part of the bowel is removed, the surgeon joins the two remaining ends of the bowel together using stitches or staplers. This procedure is called an anastomosis.

With this information we can conclude that Bowel resection is a surgery that removes part of the small intestine, large intestine or both. The large intestine includes the colon, rectum and anus.
