Reply to "New Member, upcoming surgery."

Your physical size determines how much rectal cuff the surgeon needs to leave in.  Im a thin guy so apparently he could leave minimal cuff.  Surgeons like to remove as much cuff possible of the colon comes out, because it's part of the colon and can be subject to further disease!

It sounds like that would be a call for your surgeon for your specific circumstances possibly even while your in the table,. But if your real thin my understanding is they can basically get rid of all the rectal cuff.
