What should pay attention to after operation of advanced esophagus cancer

First of all, three days after surgery is not allowed to eat any food, otherwise it will affect the stomach discomfort, this period of time can only rely on intravenous injection of glucose, saline or vitamins and other drugs to ensure the daily nutrients. Generally, after the fourth day, the nurse will exhaust the patient and pull out the gastric tube. At this time, they can start to eat, but they can only eat some liquid food, such as sugar water, milk or soup.

Secondly, just after surgery, patients are relatively weak, should pay attention to eat less and more meals, in order to avoid eating too much to cause esophageal burden. Seven days after the operation, the body has a certain recovery. At this time, you can choose semi liquid food, mainly porridge, such as lean meat porridge, or millet porridge. At this time, you should pay attention to the light diet.

Finally, the patient's diet still needs special attention in the later stage of recovery from surgery. A nutrition menu can be formulated to match the patient's taste preference. This can promote appetite, help digestion, and make the patient have a positive and optimistic attitude. Therefore, these details are very important.

matters needing attention

The diet should be light, not partial, and eat more foods containing vitamins and trace elements. Patients with esophageal cancer should pay attention to diet and health care, and at the same time, pay attention to prevent the spread and metastasis of cancer cells. After esophageal cancer surgery, patients should also regularly go to the hospital for reexamination to avoid recurrence.
