Explore the possible complications after colon cancer surgery

Colon cancer is also a type of intestinal cancer. In the treatment of intestinal cancer, surgery is the main treatment method. However, there may be some complications after surgery. The following experts will introduce the complications after colon cancer surgery .

1. Presacral bleeding in colon cancer: Presacral bleeding is a serious complication after colon cancer surgery, and it is often an important factor that causes death in patients with colon cancer. Since the presacral venous plexus is in a network shape, fixed in front of the sacrum, and communicates with the vertebral vein in the sacral foramen, it is difficult to stop bleeding once the bleeding point shrinks into the sacral foramen. In order to prevent the occurrence of presacral bleeding, the free posterior rectal wall should be carefully placed in the correct gap. The method of treating bleeding can be the steel nail insertion method.

2. Complications of colon cancer surgery: Anastomotic leakage: Anastomotic leakage is a serious complication after colon cancer surgery. The incidence of anastomotic leakage caused by traditional surgical operations is generally around 5% to 10%. The incidence of anastomotic leakage has dropped by about half after the use of anastomotic technology. In order to prevent the occurrence of anastomotic leakage, the following three points should be achieved: (1) Strictly grasp the indications for primary colorectal surgery, especially in cases of acute intestinal obstruction; (2) During the surgical operation, pay attention to the blood flow and tension of the anastomosis. During the operation, the intestinal cavity should be cleaned and the anastomosis should meet the conditions of upper empty, correct mouth and lower open; (3) Once anastomotic leakage is diagnosed, enterostomy or Hartmann's operation should be actively performed, and effective drainage, surgical nutrition and anti-infection treatment should be given at the same time.

3. Other complications after colorectal cancer surgery: Among the complications of colorectal surgery, there are also ureteral injury, stoma necrosis and intra-abdominal hernia. These complications are directly related to the surgical operation. The surgical methods for colorectal cancer are relatively mature, and each operation has its important steps. As long as these key points are grasped, most surgical complications can be avoided.
