3 months ago, Uncle Wang, 65 years old, from southern Shaanxi , unfortunately found esophageal cancer and gastric cancer at the same time.
Xi'an Daxing Hospital combined with the thoracic surgery department, combined with the thoracic surgery department, used the transverse colon to replace the esophageal tract, and performed a colonic esophageal surgery that can be called the "Everest" type of surgical field.
Recently, Uncle Wang finally "resurrected with full blood". When he came to the hospital for follow-up visit, he expressed his gratitude to the medical staff, "Thank you for your help and support, thank you!"
's weight dropped sharply by 20 kilograms! "Pinnacle" unfortunately suffered from two cancers
In May this year, Uncle Wang had intermittent stomachache . He thought it was a simple stomachache , so he bought some medicine to relieve it.
Until the end of July, Uncle Wang's stomachache was not completely cured, and it was "difficult to swallow" when eating . Even if you drink porridge, you still feel that something is blocked. The whole person looks like he loses a lot and his weight drops sharply by nearly 20 kilograms.
After realizing the severity of the situation, Uncle Wang performed gastroscopy in a local hospital. found that one tumor had a stomach and esophagus. After pathological examination, both tumors were diagnosed as malignant. The news of is like a bolt from the blue, making the whole family very pessimistic at one time.
After multiple inquiries, Uncle Wang's son found Director Shi Hai of the Department of Gastroenterology with the examination results and films, hoping to get an opportunity for surgery for Uncle Wang.
colon cleverly "buckles". A surgery was successfully solved. After Uncle Wang was transferred to Daxing Hospital in Xi'an, Director Shi Hai comprehensively evaluated his physical condition, tumor development, examination results, etc., decided to perform for Uncle Wang, and formulated a detailed surgical plan.
For most patients with esophageal cancer, the esophagus is invaded by a tumor and usually requires a whole segment of resection. At this time, the defective digestive tract is replaced by the stomach.
However, when the patient suffers from esophageal cancer and gastric cancer at the same time, and the stomach and esophagus need to be removed together, only other alternatives can be selected.
Therefore, surgeons developed "colonal esophageal surgery", but due to the complex operation of the surgery and many anastomosis, few doctors are proficient in such surgeries.
In order to enhance Uncle Wang’s confidence in overcoming the disease, Director Shi Hai explained the treatment method in detail and used a large number of successful cases to encourage Uncle Wang. On the day of the operation, the gastroenterology surgery department and the thoracic surgery team, used the colon to cleverly "bridge" and successfully completed the "colonal esophageal surgery" for Uncle Wang.
Multidisciplinary alliance! Successfully passed the "dangerous barrier" after the operation
However, completing the operation was only the first level. Because surgery has great trauma and long time, there are many anastomosis during the operation, the chance of complications is also high.
The colon is relatively contaminated, so the colon in the transplanted section is prone to infection or even necrosis, which brings more challenges to perioperative management. After
operation, gastroenterology surgery, combined with the rehabilitation department, nutrition department, and nursing team, helped Uncle Wang successfully overcome various potential "dangerous barriers" such as postoperative bleeding, infection and anastomotic fistula.
From bed to getting out of bed to free movement, Uncle Wang's daily life ability and cardiopulmonary function continued to recover. Half a month after the operation, Uncle Zhang was successfully discharged from the hospital.
At present, Uncle Wang can eat normally and starts the next step of treatment.
