AB  - Total  abdominal  colectomy  is  most  commonly  performed  in  the  setting  of  prophylactic  cancer  prevention  (FAP),  unidentified  bleeding  from  the  lower  GI  tract,  or  fulminant  ulcerative  or  Clostridium  difficile–associated  colitis.  The  stepwise  mobilization  of  the  sigmoid  colon,  cecum,  and  finally  the  transverse  colon  facilitates  the  greatest  control  of  this  large  amount  of  intra-abdominal  tissue.  Depending  on  the  clinical  situation,  a  hand  port  can  be  used  to  assist  in  the  complete  mobilization  of  the  tissue.  At  the  completion  of  the  resection  an  end  ileostomy  or  ileorectal  anastomosis  may  be  performed.
