Is it easy to recover from severe bleeding after pancreatic cancer surgery?

Pancreatic cancer is like other diseases. When the condition is serious, it can easily affect various organs of the body. The difference is that pancreatic cancer mainly affects the patient's nervous system. Therefore, psychological therapy is very important for pancreatic cancer patients. If the psychological barriers of pancreatic cancer patients are not promptly relieved, it is easy to induce some neurological complications. So, what are the main complications that are more likely to occur after pancreatic cancer surgery?

Five major complications that are common after pancreatic cancer surgery:

1. Pancreatic fistula: Most pancreatic cancer patients will choose surgical resection to control the disease if their bodies can withstand surgical treatment. However, pancreatic fistula is usually caused by residual cancer cells after surgery. The incidence of the former is 14% to 18%. (A few reports are as high as 40%), while the incidence of the latter is lower, about 5%.

2. Postoperative bleeding: Surgery for pancreatic cancer sometimes causes bleeding after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and if this situation is not handled properly, it is easy to cause other diseases. Postoperative bleeding caused by incomplete hemostasis often occurs within 24 hours after surgery.

3. Postoperative abscess: Pancreatic cancer patients are prone to abdominal abscess after surgery, which usually makes the patient feel postoperative abdominal abscess. Postoperative abdominal abscess is caused by poor drainage after surgery, and the incidence rate is about 4% to 10%. It manifests as chills, high fever, abdominal distension, gastric motility disorder and increased white blood cell count.

4. Biliary fistula: Pancreatic cancer patients can use some methods to effectively prevent bile leakage after surgery. Usually, the chance of this disease occurring after surgery is relatively low. If handled well, it can easily improve the patient's own self-healing ability.

5. Some pancreatic cancer patients are prone to diabetes after surgical resection. Diabetes is also an endocrine disease. If you do not pay attention to conditioning after pancreatic resection, it is easy to induce latent diabetes. Elderly patients have poor islet function and are more likely to develop diabetes after pancreatic surgery. Therefore, blood sugar and urine sugar should be measured frequently after surgery to understand the patient's sugar metabolism in a timely manner.

The above five complications are easily induced after pancreatic cancer surgery, so some pancreatic cancer patients with poor physical condition should try to avoid surgical resection to relieve pain. Early pancreatic cancer develops rapidly, and at this time, some basic therapies should be paid attention to to relieve the patient's discomfort, so pancreatic cancer can also be effectively prevented.
