Has anyone heard of abdominal colectomy where they attach the small intestine to the rectum after a a colectomy? We are approaching my sons surgery date soon and I want to make sure I’ve challenged all of the options. Thanks

That’s called an ileo-rectal anastomosis. The folks who talk about it here don’t seem too happy with it (but on a support forum there will be mostly folks with problems to solve). Since the rectum is part of the large intestine, there may be good reasons to remove most of it in some situations.
