What is the abdominal resection?

Abdominoperineal resection is the surgery for the treatment of colorectal cancer cancer, including the removal of the cancer part of the lower intestine. This procedure is very invasive and often has a significant impact on the patient's quality of life. As a result, doctors will usually seek other treatment options for cancer, if possible, before the abdominal resection recommendation. Surgery is commonly performed by a general surgeon and can be performed in a surgical center specializing in intestinal surgery. Historically, abdominal resection has been performed as open operations, but many surgical centers now offer a laparoscopic option. This allows surgeons to perform surgery through a number of small cuts rather than a large open surgical site, which significantly reduced the healing time and also reduced the risk of infection and limiting the scarring after surgical recovery.

Removing the lower intestine in the procedure of abdominal resection requires installation of stoma, abdomen opening to make a patientOVO was drained. This is associated with a waste collection bag, because without an anal sphincter, the patient cannot check the release of waste. The colostory bag may take some time to adapt to the patient, and many patients experience psychological problems during this period of adaptation.

patients should expect to be hospitalized about a week after the abdominal resection. While staying in the hospital, the patient will be monitored to confirm that the digestive tract is recovering and will be taught to maintain the stoma and colostory bags. A trained nurse removes the vacuum at home.

Before performing abdominal resection, the patient meets a surgeon and anesthesiologist to discuss the procedure. The patient's medical history is reviewed in terms of any risk factors and causes of potential fears. There will also be information on recovery times, the objective of surgery and the instructions to subsequentlyOut care and patients can consider it useful to meet people who have bags for colostomy to talk to them about their experiences. Meeting colleagues can cause experience to be less scary and better managed and patients with colostomy often have recommendations for managing colostory equipment that people can consider useful.
