The child eats a lot, the stomach is round and rolling, originally thought it was a "frog belly" that ate too much, but it was a large tumor in the abdominal cavity. On February 3, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily learned from Wuhan Children's Hospital that through surgery, doctors removed more than two pounds of large tumors from the child's abdomen.
Baby's natural belly but the tumor is hidden
Ms. Li's child Mingming (pseudonym) is 1 and a half years old this year, and in the summer, the watermelon will swell up when he eats too much, and the family jokes about "such a big frog belly". Because the baby's belly is basically round, plus he likes to eat, the amount of food is large, very lively, and his parents do not feel that there is anything special about the big belly.
Until December 2021, Ms. Li bathed Mingming, felt that Mingming's stomach was much larger than that of children of the same age, and suspected that Mingming was eating too much to digest or constipation, so she took him to Wuhan Children's Hospital.
After the general surgery director Bian Hongqiang received the treatment, he felt something strange in his stomach as soon as he was modeled, and he was highly suspected of having a tumor, which may be more than 10 cm in diameter, and it was recommended to do a B ultrasound examination. The results of the B ultrasound examination confirmed Bian Hongqiang's judgment, and he was urgently admitted to the hospital in the afternoon of the same day.
"The ultrasound examination showed that the tumor was very large, compressing on adjacent organs and requiring immediate surgery." Director Bian Hongqiang quickly arranged surgery for Mingming. Obviously, the small belly is not the size of a volleyball, but the tumor occupies three-quarters of the space of the abdominal cavity, squeezing the blood vessels located on the right side of the abdominal cavity to the left side of the abdominal cavity.
The operation lasted for more than three hours, the tumor was completely peeled off and removed, the diameter of the tumor was 15 centimeters, and the doctor also cleared the lymph nodes for Mingming. The postoperative pathological results showed that the tumor was nephroblastoma, which was a malignant tumor, and chemotherapy was needed in the later stage.
"Please admit it in time" The doctor's small details are too heartwarming
A week after the operation, Ming Ming recovered from the careful care of his parents and doctors and nurses, not only with a rosy face, but also running and jumping very cute. "From the first visit to the completion of the operation, the care of the medical staff for the child in the process of our eyes, we really feel professional, warm and loving." When Ms. Li and her husband were about to be transferred to the Department of Hematology and Oncology for further treatment, they presented the general surgery department with a pennant of "a doctor who practices the supremacy of the people and soothes the hearts of patients".
More than half a month ago, the first time with the child in the outpatient clinic, Mingming's parents do not know Director Bian Hongqiang, learned that the child has a tumor mood is very anxious, but Director Bian quickly and accurately diagnosed, but also wrote on the hospitalization certificate "Please accept treatment in time", this detail makes the anxious him feel warm.
After Mingming was hospitalized, Director Bian Hongqiang, Director Yang Jun, Dr. Guo Qin, and Dr. Li Huan of the Department of General Surgery held many meetings to study the condition, invited consultations, formulated surgical plans for Mingming, patiently and meticulously explained the diagnosis and treatment plan again and again, and tirelessly accepted inquiries about the various worries of the children's parents. The couple was emotionally anxious and difficult to accept for a while, and the nurse often enlightened and comforted them after work, and treated the child was a whisper. After the operation, Director Bian informed the operation at the first time, and when he heard the doctor say that the tumor was successfully removed, the lymph nodes were dissected, and no metastasis occurred, and the heart carried by the child's parents fell. "The doctors and nurses have never met with us, but they are very important to us, attach importance to the condition, the solution is clear and clear, and they are considerate and thoughtful to us and our children, so that we have a bottom in our hearts." Ms. Lee said.
There are signs of tumors Parents do not be careless in their daily routines
For any tumor, the sooner it is found, the better, but the child's ability to tell the situation is poor, the perception of abnormalities in his body is poor, and it is generally not easy to find a tumor.
Director Bian Hongqiang suggested that parents often rub the baby's stomach or touch the stomach when bathing, if there is a tumor, more than 6cm in size, the feel can be felt immediately. Once a lump is found in the child's neck, armpits, groin, abdomen, lower back and other parts, you should go to a professional children's hospital in time.
