I'm not sure this is a question that can be sufficiently answered. Surgery is always different for everyone. There are always a lot of different factors that determine the length of the surgery. I hope things go well for you, or the person you were asking for. God Bless!

i cannot answer definitely. surgeries that involve resection of of the GI tract can be very complicated. ( not to mention the individuals response to general anesthetic ) i had 2 + feet of my small intestines removed approx. 4 years ago. be sure to follow ALL instructions given by your surgeon. ask about the risks of post surgery infections. i had to wear a device called a JP bulb attached to a tube inserted into my side to remove a football size mass of infection that impaired my ability to breathe. works like a baby nose suction bulb but larger. the surgery went fine but the infection nearly killed me. be prepared for a long recovery period if the surgery cannot be done with a scope. abdomen muscle are hard to build back up after such a surgery. you never realize how much work your abs do in just stabilizing your upper body. and for your sake please be careful when taking pain meds post surgery!!!!!

See colon is inside stomach and roughly it would take 3 hours.
