Why would a man need surgery on his colon?
My Mom’s ex is at our house right now resting from surgery on his colon. He’s about 50…had no friends, so my mom is helping him. Anyway…why would something like this need to be done?

Could be anything from ulcers (fancy name for damged wall) to cancer (pretty common these days due to junk food/alcohol).
He’s likely to be tired as hell and miserable, particularly if he was any kind of athlete or had hoped that one day he might be able to convince your Mom to get back together. So he’s probably not enjoying being weak and useless one little bit.
Try to cheer him up if he gives you the chance, when you can. Steer away from anything sensitive like relations (you’ll have to ask Mom, not me) and don’t let it run your life.
Your Mom might need physical help or cheering up as well. Having an invalid around the house is not all that exciting.
Depending on your age, you might be able to do something there as well.
If the situation bugs you then go for a walk or a meal with your Mom and talk, don’t keep it inside. Open up and it’ll get better. She might appreciate the break.
colon cancer is a possibility.
However, there are plenty of things that could go wrong with a colon. Here’s a list of some of them. A little fun reading for you…

It could be ulcerative colitis and they remove the ulcerated part. It could be similar with Crohn’s disease where a diseased part is removed. It could be cancer of the colon but he would usually have a colostomy bag then.
Hope that information helps you understand.
