Today, I'd like to talk about the symptoms of intestinal adhesion after colon cancer surgery.

What are the symptoms of intestinal adhesion after colon cancer surgery

First, intestinal adhesion causes adhesive intestinal obstruction, and metastatic tumor compression causes intestinal obstruction. At present, the only way of contact obstruction is fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, repeated enema. If the obstruction can not be relieved, the operation is of little significance, and it will aggravate the intestinal obstruction. If the intestinal obstruction cannot be removed, the patient will die of infectious shock or failure to absorb the toxin.

Second: in fact, intestinal adhesion is caused by various reasons between the intestines, between the intestines and the peritoneum, between the intestines and the viscera of the abdominal cavity. The patients with intestinal adhesion account for more than 90% of the total adhesion patients. Intestinal adhesion patients will be very uncomfortable, abdominal colic, serious can not get up and walk.

Third: for patients with intestinal adhesion, secondary operation should be avoided as far as possible, because one operation is equal to increasing the chance of trauma, and the injured part will make corresponding response, release some vasoactive substances and increase capillary permeability. What's more, the damage to the body caused by reoperation is huge.
