Gastric cancer is a disease that everyone is familiar with. The occurrence of this disease seriously affects people's normal diet and causes great harm to people's health. The early symptoms of gastric cancer are not very obvious. Occasionally, you will feel upper abdominal discomfort, which has the non-specific characteristics of heating. The symptoms are similar to those of chronic diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcers, and are easily overlooked. So, what preparations need to be made before laparoscopic gastric cancer resection?
Before surgery, gastric cancer patients need to go to the hospital for examination. For patients who can be treated surgically, they must have an understanding of the surgery-related processes before the operation, eliminate the tension and fear of their psychological state, and cooperate with the doctor with confidence. In order to ensure the success of the operation and good postoperative recovery, they need to undergo some necessary laboratory tests before the operation.
Laparoscopic gastric cancer resection requires the following preparations: assess the patient's physical condition, such as cardiopulmonary function, liver function, kidney function, nutritional status, etc. Build patient confidence and encourage them to be mentally prepared. Dietary preparation: indwelling gastric tube enema. Preoperative preparation is particularly important for surgery and postoperative recovery, which requires mutual understanding and cooperation between doctors and patients.
The patient will have a gastric tube inserted several days before the operation, and the stomach will be repeatedly flushed. The operation usually needs to be performed under general anesthesia. During the anesthesia induction, the patient quickly falls asleep. After the anesthesia takes effect, the doctor will start the operation. After waking up from the operation, the patient will lack memory for a short period of time. When the memory recovers, the patient is basically already in bed. Before the operation, you must pay more attention to rest, ensure sleep, and pay attention to daily diet and health care.
Gastric cancer surgery is a major operation for patients, so all preparations must be done before the operation to ensure the effectiveness of the operation and the smooth recovery of the patient. Nutritional support therapy, enteral nutrition or parenteral nutrition before surgery, correct hypoproteinemia and electrolyte disorders, and improve the nutritional status of patients.
