Colon cancer surgery
The only treatment for a complete recovery of colon and rectal cancer is the removal of the crop by surgery, the type of surgery is chosen according to several factors: its position of the crop, its size, the spread of the disease to the neighboring organs, the obstruction of the intestines, the presence of metastasis, chronic diseases, the patient’s condition and the experience of the surgeon. The purpose of the colon cancer process is not only for the treatment of the patient and its recovery of this disease, but to prevent bowel obstruction or bleeding or a hole in the intestines as a result of the tumor. Surgeons are divided into two parts, and it is as follows: 1. The surgeries performed to reduce the suffering of the patient (palliation) are performed when the tumor is at an advanced stage, and it is not possible to eradicate it, so that the crop metastases spread to the liver and lungs or for the peritoneum hole, or in cases where the patient has not undergone other surgery. This operation includes delayed and limited bowel removal to convert the bowel content into a bag in the abdominal wall or to bypass the crop area so as not to block the gut. 2. Curative resection. These operations are performed to fully heal the patient. These surgeries permeate an extensive eradication of the colon with the disease in addition to fatty tissues, blood vessels and lymph nodes responsible for the crop movement, to ensure that there are no cancer cells in the lymph nodes. It is this information that determines the possibilities of recovery from the disease and whether there is a need to add a chemotherapy or radiotherapy to patients who spread to the disease and reached the fat area around the colon or lymph nodes. Before the operation is performed, public and private checks are performed aimed at checking the patient’s readiness to perform this complicated operation, performed under the influence of general anesthesia, and it contains: a comprehensive examination of colonoscopy (colonoscopy), a doctor who specializes in digestive diseases, ensures that there are no other tume Colonoscopy, which depends on the computerized tomography that photograph the chest, abdomen and pelvis through computerized tomography: to determine the size of the crop outside the colon and to verify the presence of metastases. Blood tests, which include examining the patient’s life signs. Ultrasound is performed by the anus to ensure the depth of the penetration of the crop. Preparation for surgery generally includes the intestines completely empty by drinking a special substance before surgery, and sterilizing the colon cavity through antibiotics. (CT colonography). Next what happens during a colon -dendoscopy examination during surgery, the operation is done as follows: The stomach uptake must sometimes be done, despite performing the photographic tests whose results are negative, some cancerous metastases can be seen in the peritoneum, which would change the entire operation. Extensive part of the colon includes the removal of cancer mass, fat, blood vessels and lymph nodes around the tumor. The connection between the remaining colon and the sewing to sew it to allow the continuity of the intestines and the passage of the contents of the colon, as there are four meters from the small intestine and 1.5 meters of colon for each person, the removal of a large part or even almost entirely from the colon will not cause significant digestive disorders. If the tumor is very superficial and small, a topical eradication of the tumor can be done by the anus using a special apparatus, as the good deeds of this type of faster recovery, reduce the pain, return faster to daily life, and improve the absence of a major surgical scar and the patient’s metaphysical and immune position. If the metastases are concentrated in one lobe of the liver, this part of the liver can be removed, while colonctomy or after 6-8 weeks went through the colon surgery. After surgery in the early days of surgery, the patient will not be able to eat, but his food is only limited to fluids, and he will also have to use painful medicine. (CT colonography).
