Once a teratoma is diagnosed, early surgical resection is necessary to prevent benign teratoma from becoming malignant due to delayed surgery, and to prevent infection, rupture, bleeding and complications. The key point of teratoma surgery is to completely remove the tumor. For ovarian and testicular tumors, one ovary or testicle should be removed. For sacrococcygeal teratoma, the coccyx must be removed at the same time to avoid residual pluripotent cells that may cause tumor recurrence. The importance and precautions of a proper diet before and after surgery: 1. Eat a semi-liquid diet one day before the operation and do not eat or drink on the morning of the operation to prevent accidental inhalation of anesthesia. 2. Do not eat for 6 hours after the operation, and then eat liquid food, avoid sugar and milk. After the gas is discharged, gradually change from semi-liquid food to normal meals. 3. Purpose and necessity of preoperative preparation: Skin preparation is to clean the skin and prevent infection of the incision. The purpose of preoperative medication is to ensure sleep, induce anesthesia, enhance the anesthesia effect, and reduce glandular secretion. Gastrointestinal preparation prevents aspiration of vomitus during and after surgery, prevents accidental injury to the intestine during surgery, facilitates smooth surgery, and prevents abdominal distension after surgery. 4. Placement of a urinary catheter facilitates surgery and prevents accidental injury to the bladder. 5. Preoperative blood preparation and drug allergy test to prepare for intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion and medication 6. After the operation, you may feel general discomfort, dizziness, and incision pain, which are normal phenomena. Use painkillers if necessary. You may also experience nausea and vomiting, which are mostly caused by anesthetics and surgical stimulation. 7. Teach patients techniques for turning over after surgery, methods for reducing abdominal tension, techniques for preventing incision pain when coughing, techniques for getting out of bed, and how to use a toilet in bed, etc. 8. After the operation, lie flat without a pillow and tilt your head to one side to prevent headaches, prevent suffocation due to accidental inhalation of vomitus, and prevent shock. 9. Removing the urinary catheter and urinating early are beneficial to the recovery of bladder function and the prevention of urinary retention; avoiding urination difficulties due to overfilling of the bladder 10. Discharge Instructions: (1) Rest for 1 month after hysterectomy and refrain from sexual intercourse for 2-3 months. Avoid fatigue. After myomectomy, refrain from bathing in the tub and sexual intercourse for 1 month. (2) 7-14 days after total hysterectomy, there will be a small amount of pink secretions in the vagina. This is caused by the dissolution of the intestinal stump of the vagina. This is a normal phenomenon and does not require treatment. Just rest properly. If the secretions are bloody and the amount is like menstrual period, you should seek medical attention immediately. (3) You can take a shower one week after the stitches are removed, and wash your wound with warm water on a daily basis to prevent colds. |
