Yes, open colon resection.

Yeah:

It fits the timeline (with a built in few extra days).

What is the average stay for a colon resection?
Traditional surgery results in an average hospital stay of a week or more and usually 6 weeks of recovery. Less invasive options are available to many patients facing colon surgery.

Yeah. I thought about that. Their schedule is planned months in advance and he just now is changing it/scaling it back. That means something unexpected. She also had travel duty plans.

Does this usually require an ostomy bag?

Currently, the average hospital length of stay (LOS) after a colectomy is 7 days to 10 days in the United States and over 10 days in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain.

Oh my word, such total dedication to being 'right' when most of what you wrote was completely inaccurate yet stated as fact.

If I could be further bothered I'd regoogle and prob find it does have a 'department'. I wonder what 'department' the medics working in 'women's health' and the surgeons performing the hysterectomies would say they are part of? But WAIT, maybe it's called a section, or a specialism or...OK..you are right. You really are. You can't be wrong. Thank goodness you are here to keep us all informed with your CAPS and unequivocal statements.

My sibling was at this hospital.

Nothing from you to say thanks, and no 'oh I was incorrect, oops'. Dislike teaching similar mindsets. I like being wrong and often am.

I love how you're all about the links until you can't find one (because it doesn't exist; TLC doesn't have a gyn department) and now you can't be bothered to "regoogle." Also, you agree with the other poster that it's not the surgery Kate is having (which was obviously their point), but you can't stop arguing about whether they theoretically might do a type of that surgery on someone. But the other poster is the one who is desperate to be right. Yup.

I urge you to click the links and looks at the doctors performing them. They do not have a gyn department, which speaks to the faculty not the services offered. (Apologies if that wasn't clear; I'm a doctor, so it's clear to me, but I realize I shouldn't take that for granted.) It's one of the reasons a royal would never go there for major gyn-related surgery. Not a single service they list on that page is major surgery. Instead, they are all outpatient procedures. Because they don't have a department.

The bottom line is that the surgery is related to the digestive system, because that is the world class department that this clinic has & what they specialize in (also, certain cancer treatment).

Many posts in...now claims to be a 'doctor'. I am one too.

I would guess there are many possibilities for an HRH which do not exist for all. Such as a team assembling depending on various factors inc security or other things.

The London Clinic may be an unusual choice, if it was a choice, as it's not the 'usual' hospital for Royals. The motorcade footage posted on X on Dec 28th adds another layer of questions if HRH has been in hospital since then.

For 2 weeks stay you’d have to assume open surgery required (and that less invasive laparoscopic not an option).

The takeaway from this thread is that doctors are rigid and oppositional.

As a Brit and also a new to this conversation, I want to point out that a consultant gynecologist is on par with being board certified in that specialty - at that point, as a surgeon you are senior enough that you drop being called “doctor”. It’s actually a measure of seniority to become “Mr” or “Ms” again in Britain. I’d also look up each of those doctors. You’ll likely find that they are largely associated with NHS hospitals where they work full time and only occasionally consult at the private London Clinic.

Not always. It is location dependent. Case by case.

My dad had a colon resection after surgery to remove a very large colon cancer tumor, but[/i] never[i] needed an ostomy bag. They were able to remove it and then resect the colon.

And sometimes one gets one, but it's not permanent.

Serious injuries to the lower abdomen can injure the colon, bowels, and rectum. In some cases, these injuries can heal, while others may be permanent. Either way, a colostomy may be ordered to allow the organs to heal.

Colon cancer can cause serious blockages of the colon. It can also necessitate the removal of parts of the colon. Both of these problems can lead to a temporary or permanent colostomy.

llnesses like diverticulitis, an infection of small pouches in the wall of the colon, can require a colostomy in order to heal. Not every case of diverticulitis requires a colostomy, but if diet and antibiotics don’t help, a temporary colostomy may be necessary.

NP here.

Many doctors perform surgeries in different hospitals for various reasons. So you can’t use the hospital’s website to determine what surgery she did or didn’t have.

She will be in the hospital for 10-16 days. It must’ve been a big surgery!

Or she’s the princess of wales and gets the literal royal treatment. The rest of us would have to be back at work.

But she'd get the royal treatment in her bedroom. Why does she need to be in the hospital? That's what's weird. She could recover with a whole lot of help at home if it weren't serious.

This. Anyone would be happier at home, especially with that kind of help.

If her marriage isn't great and her kids are demanding, she'd probably prefer a hospital, especially if her room is princess-level nice. This could relax for the first time in twenty years!

My brother had a colectomy for Crohn's disease, plus they took his diseased gallbladder and had to repair an anal fistula (caused by the Crohn's). He was like inpatient for 9 days. The thing about inflammatory bowel disease is that sometimes people are really sick by the time they need surgery, and you need to get that under control. My brother needed iv nutrition, steroids and biologics bf he was healthy enough to withstand surgery.

Preemptively clearing the schedule would have aroused suspicion.

[Anonymous]

I am amazed and a bit scared about this thread. Who are you posters that offer, as fact, knowledge about the schedules for these people. How do you know? Perhaps more importantly why do you care to know? Also, why would you believe she is having whatever procedure she is saying she is having.

My money is on her likely getting a mini face/neck lift.

[Anonymous]

Maybe whatever GI related surgery she had stems from the Hyperemesis gravidarum she had during her pregnancies and it did some how impact her colon to where she needs resection
