"Uncle Zhang, the operation is finished. We are going back to the ward. Do you feel okay?" "Are you done? I am fine. I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere. Thank you!"

July On the 1st, the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology of Huaihua Cancer Hospital carried out its first microwave ablation surgery more than two months after its opening. The surgical results and patient response were very good.

72-year-old Uncle Zhang has been visiting the gastrointestinal surgery department of Huaihua Cancer Hospital for more than 2 years due to colon cancer complicated by lung metastasis. After many treatments, the patient's primary tumor was under control, but the lung metastases increased. In order to control the growth of pulmonary metastases, after consultation with Chief Physician Shen Lianggang, director of the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology at Huaihua Cancer Hospital, it was decided to perform microwave ablation on the patient to coagulate necrosis of the pulmonary metastases to control tumor growth. On June 27, the patient, Uncle Zhang, was transferred to the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology, and was treated by the attending physician Huang Liping. After a comprehensive assessment of the patient's condition, Director Shen Lianggang organized department staff to discuss the condition. In view of the fact that the patient's right lung lesions mainly progressed locally, The primary tumor was stable, and it was decided to perform microwave ablation on the patient on July 1. Director Shen Lianggang treated the patients meticulously. Head nurse Qu Manmei and responsible nurse Shi Li guarded and cared for the patients throughout the process. CT re-scan after the operation showed that all the ablation lesions of the patient were coagulated and necrotic. The patient had no discomfort during and after the operation, and no complications occurred. The next day Uncle Zhang was active and active, and he recovered very well.

Because Uncle Zhang’s children are all working in other places and the family’s financial situation is relatively difficult, his elderly wife has been taking care of him at his bedside during his hospitalization. Therefore, the patient's lesion originally needed to be ablated with two ablation needles. Director Shen Lianggang used the superimposed ablation method to save costs to the greatest extent without affecting the surgical effect, thus reducing Uncle Zhang's financial burden. After his body recovered, Uncle Zhang felt as if he were seeing relatives when he saw Director Shen Lianggang and Dr. Huang Liping. He held their hands and kept expressing his gratitude. Seeing the radiant Uncle Zhang and his smiling aunt, Huaihua Cancer Hospital The medical staff of the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology also feel extremely happy. The safety and health of patients are the greatest encouragement to the medical staff.

Microwave ablation is the precise insertion of microwave electrodes into tumors under the guidance of imaging equipment such as B ultrasound , CT or nuclear magnetic resonance . The tumor cells move at high speed and friction under the action of the microwave magnetic field, causing the local temperature to rise rapidly to achieve effective treatment. The temperature causes the tumor to undergo coagulative necrosis . Microwave ablation has small trauma, high safety, fast recovery, few complications, can be repeated, and can protect the patient's organ function to the maximum extent. It can treat patients who do not want surgery or cannot bear surgery due to various reasons. of the gospel. (Correspondent: Shi Li)
