Abdominoperineal resection (APR) takes away the rectum and anus, normally for low rectal or anal cancer, and leaves a permanent colostomy.

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust says that the end of the bowel is brought out on the abdomen as a permanent colostomy, with stool collected in a bag, and the wound at the bottom is stitched closed.

A stoma nurse teaches bag changes and skin care before discharge, and the majority of people return to normal activities with a colostomy over time.

The trust's leaflet names slow healing of the bottom wound, particularly after radiotherapy, changes in sexual and bladder function because nerves run close to the rectum, and stoma issues.

The average stay is four to eight days, blood-thinning injections normally continue for 28 days and heavy lifting and driving wait six weeks.

Flying home: UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance recommends no flights for 10 days following open abdominal surgery, which usually means about a fortnight in Gurgaon.

A Gurgaon quote for abdominoperineal resection is normally made up of these items:

• Pre-operative tests: blood work, imaging and an anaesthetic assessment.
• Theatre and anaesthesia charges: mostly set by time in the operating room.
• Consultant fees: which differ from one hospital to the next.
• Type of operation: open, keyhole or robotic where there is a choice.
• Open, keyhole or robotic: the approach.
• Radiotherapy ahead of surgery: common for rectal cancer.
• Length of stay: commonly four to eight days.
• Stoma care: nurse support and supplies.

Cancer surgery costs depend on the stage, how much is taken out and any further treatment including chemotherapy or radiotherapy, so complex cases in Gurgaon can cost more than the range above.
