Summary of postoperative nursing knowledge for bladder cancer

Hello everyone, do you know some symptoms of bladder cancer? Do you know some treatment and health care knowledge about bladder cancer? Let's learn about this knowledge together.

1. Be careful to prevent anastomotic fistula after surgery

In both ileal cystectomy and partial cystectomy, there is a possibility of fistula at the anastomosis. In other words, the incision edges of the joints do not heal well, and urine leaks into the abdominal cavity. This is one of the more common postoperative complications. Once it occurs, it takes a long time to heal. In some severe cases, reoperation is required.

2. Detect fistulas early

1) For patients who have undergone partial cystectomy, the amount of fluid drawn out should be observed. If the amount of fluid drawn out is less than, equal to, or greater than 400 ml of the amount drawn in, fistula should be highly suspected.

2) The purpose of the abdominal drainage tube is to drain the intra-abdominal fluid. The amount drained will gradually decrease after the operation. If the drainage volume suddenly increases and the urine appears light yellow, fistula is likely to occur.

3) Patients with fistula often have fever symptoms.

3. Prevention and treatment of fistula

If the drainage is blocked, the amount of fluid in the bladder is large, and the pressure and volume exceed a certain limit, it will affect the healing of the anastomosis. Once a fistula occurs, the doctor will decide whether to perform conservative treatment or surgery after careful examination. Conservative treatment is to promote healing by taking measures such as strengthening nutrition. However, some people still need surgery again in the end.

Improving nutrition and maintaining patency of the bladder drainage tube are effective means to prevent fistula after surgery. Malnutrition should be corrected before surgery. After the surgery, while strengthening dietary nutrition, intravenous nutrition (such as albumin infusion) is sometimes required.
