In the hot summer, it’s the golden time to have barbecue with beer and hot pot every day. While lingering at banquets in restaurants and night markets to satisfy your appetite, have you ever thought that diseases might take advantage of the situation? Jingmen A young man got into trouble because of his "good appetite". After he returned from treatment for severe pancreatitis, he planted a "bomb" in his stomach.

My stomach was swollen and distended. It turned out to be pancreas cysts.

The 29-year-old Brother Huan usually likes to gather friends for a drink. One day a year ago, he drank a few more drinks at a dinner party with his friends as usual. Unexpectedly, at night, I suddenly suffered severe pain in my upper abdomen, sweating profusely, and vomited everything I ate. The family quickly called an ambulance and sent him to Jingmen No. 1 Hospital for treatment. After examination, he was diagnosed with severe acute pancreatitis . Under the full treatment of Director Zhang Songbai of the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery and Pediatric Surgery, Brother Huan finally survived the disaster of life and death.

After being cured, Brother Huan should have been living a stable and comfortable life at home, but recently he clutched his stomach and came to Jingmen No. 1 Hospital for consultation with Director Zhang Songbai. Brother Huan told Director Zhang that his stomach has become bulging over the past year. He feels severe swelling and pain when eating something, but he does not feel nausea or vomiting, nor does he have acid reflux or stomach upset. It seems that there is no big problem. . But having experienced life and death, he still felt more reassured by a check-up, so he came to consult Director Zhang Songbai, who had saved his life.

After detailed consultation and related examinations, Brother Huan was diagnosed with: pancreatic pseudocyst . The diameter of cyst is as long as an adult's forearm. It has compressed the gastrointestinal tract. Conservative treatment has no effect and requires surgery.

You may have heard little about pancreatic pseudocyst. Why do I get lumps in my stomach after recovering from acute pancreatitis ? Are the two related?

Zhang Songbai’s detailed explanation: Pancreatic pseudocysts are mostly secondary to acute pancreatitis, pancreatic injury or pancreatic surgery. After the early stage of the disease is cured, some people will suffer from pancreatitis attacks due to improper eating habits. Pseudocysts often form about 4 weeks after the onset of pancreatitis. Just like blowing up a balloon, the secretion of inflammation causes the fluid in the cyst to continue to increase, causing the cyst to continue to grow, thus compressing other organs in the abdominal cavity, causing persistent abdominal distension and pain.

Most pancreatic pseudocysts can heal themselves. If the pseudocyst continues not to be absorbed, it may cause a series of complications as the cyst increases. Such as cyst rupture, infection, bleeding, and compression of surrounding nearby organs leading to obstruction, etc., and the incidence of complications gradually increases with time.

uses minimally invasive technology to help patients regain their "good appetite".

made a clear diagnosis and took the initiative. After a series of examinations and careful preparation by Director Zhang Songbai's team, the surgery was performed on Brother Huan.

This operation is different from the past. The key point is that this time it is a completely laparoscopic Rou-en-y cyst jejunostomy. This operation has the advantages of small damage, light postoperative pain, quick recovery, etc., and greatly improves the condition of the patient. It shortens the hospitalization time, has less interference with other abdominal organs, and reduces the incidence of postoperative intestinal adhesions.

The operation process is complex and difficult, requiring skilled laparoscopic technology and the close cooperation of the surgical team. After more than 5 hours of hard work, the operation ended successfully. Brother Huan returned to the ward safely and was discharged the next day after the operation. I got out of bed and moved around, and within a week I was walking as fast as I could.

"I really want to eat three bowls of rice in one go, hahaha!" Brother Huan's hearty laughter came from the ward of gastrointestinal surgery and pediatric surgery. "Doctor, can we eat now? He even secretly ate shortcakes and said he was very hungry." Brother Huan's wife was the first to "report" him. "You still have to pay attention. It's okay to eat in moderation. Eat smaller meals more often." With the doctor's permission, Brother Huan was even happier.

Sun Nian, the bedside doctor, makes rounds every morning and evening and analyzes the patient's data. The bedside nurse closely monitors the patient's vital signs and the conditions of various pipes every day. With the sincere cooperation of the medical team, none of the complications that everyone was worried about appeared, and Brother Huan was discharged from the hospital in less than half a month.

"No words can express my gratitude. I am grateful to the medical care of the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department and the Pediatric Surgery Department for once again pulling me back from danger!" When he was discharged from the hospital, Brother Huan said gratefully and said that he would remember the doctor's words. Improve your eating habits and take good care of your body.

Gastrointestinal surgeons remind you that to prevent pancreatitis, you must start with a healthy diet. Drinking less alcohol can avoid damage to the gastrointestinal tract by drinking less alcohol; do not overeat. Overeating can cause gastrointestinal disorders, prevent the intestines from functioning normally, hinder the drainage of bile and pancreatic juice, and cause pancreatitis.

When symptoms such as abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, fever, etc. occur after eating, you should seek medical treatment in time. (Correspondent Zhao Yanjiao Reporter Li Li)
