Postoperative complications of colon cancer

summary

Not long ago, my uncle went to the hospital for colon cancer surgery. My uncle has been diagnosed with colon cancer for a period of time. In daily life, there are often symptoms of stool bleeding. Do patients with colon cancer want to know about the complications after colon cancer surgery?

Postoperative complications of colon cancer

The most serious complications were left colon cancer. The incidence of anastomotic leakage was 5% - 10% in the traditional manual operation of colon cancer. The incidence of anastomotic leakage decreased after using stapler technique.

Complication 2: the fatal complication of colon cancer surgery is presacral hemorrhage. The main reason is the injury of presacral venous plexus when separating the posterior wall of intestine. Because the presacral venous plexus is reticular, fixed in front of the sacrum, and has communication with the vertebral vein in the sacral foramen, once the bleeding point shrinks into the sacral foramen, it is difficult to stop bleeding.

Complication 3: other complications include ureteral injury, stoma necrosis and intra-abdominal hernia. These complications are directly related to the operation.

matters needing attention

The patients with colon cancer should have a positive and optimistic attitude to face and treat this disease, and the patients with colon cancer surgery and those who will be operated on will be helpful. We must pay attention to the prevention of recurrence and metastasis of cancer cells after colon cancer surgery in order to better consolidate the therapeutic effect of colon cancer.
