The thoracic surgery expert team of Wuhan Sixth Hospital (Affiliated Hospital of Jianghan University) designed a surgical plan for him, successfully removed this "jujube", and on April 23, Zhang Daddy's son took him out of the hospital and specially sent a pennant to the medical team to express his gratitude.
Present pennants to the medical team before discharge
68-year-old Zhang Daddy (pseudonym) was a surgeon in a grass-roots hospital before retirement, and after retirement, he has not been idle, in the community clinic for the neighborhood to solve problems, usually after sitting in the clinic back home, he likes to drink and relieve fatigue, and gradually every meal has to get three or four two wines. In recent months, Daddy Zhang has always felt that his body is weak, he feels uncomfortable eating, and sometimes he chokes. He went to the hospital for a gastroscopy, which revealed that there was a new cauliflower-like creature about 2.5 centimeters long on his middle esophagus, the size of a winter date.
Father Zhang then came to the Sixth Hospital of Wuhan City for consultation, and Director Chen Zhuo suggested that he be hospitalized first to further improve the examination. It has been confirmed that this "jujube" in Zhang Daddy's esophagus is squamous cell carcinoma in the middle of the esophagus, without lymph nodes and distant organ metastasis, which belongs to the middle and early stages. As a surgeon, he knew the pain and perioperative risks associated with open surgery for esophageal cancer, but he was not willing to do radiotherapy directly. Chen Zhuo told Daddy Zhang that his team performed esophageal cancer surgery, using a single-lumen tracheal intubation subthoracy thoracoscopy assisted by a three-incision esophageal cancer radical resection, this surgical method can very well solve the patient's postoperative wound pain, atelectasis, pleural effusion and other issues, and the resection effect of esophageal tumors and lymph nodes is also very accurate.
You can get out of bed the next day after surgery
This news made Daddy Zhang put his mind at ease and immediately agreed to the operation. After thorough preparation, the operation went smoothly. After the operation, Daddy Zhang felt that the knife edge was not painful, his stomach was not hungry, and he also had strength in his body when he moved. He was able to eat a week after the operation, and 10 days after the operation, he was discharged from the hospital.
"Doctors and nurses are meticulous and caring, and their professional skills are good." Before being discharged from the hospital, Daddy Zhang praised the medical staff.
Chen Zhuo introduced that esophageal cancer is a solid tumor of the digestive tract with a high incidence, and the feeling of choking in the esophagus or the slow passage of food and a foreign body sensation can occur in the early stage, and the symptoms are sometimes mild and severe. Patients in the middle and advanced stages will gradually develop symptoms such as wasting, dehydration, and weakness, and may have persistent chest and back pain. The best way to stay away from esophageal cancer is to develop good eating habits, avoid hot eating, stay away from tobacco and alcohol, pickled foods, eat a balanced diet, and strengthen resistance. High-risk groups should undergo gastroscopy once a year to achieve early detection and early treatment.
