"Thank you for your professionalism and dedication, which gave us great encouragement and confidence, and rekindled our hope for life...... "A few days ago, Aunt Mao (pseudonym), who was diagnosed with a secondary malignant tumor of the peritoneum and almost gave up treatment, said that she and her family were very grateful to the medical staff of the department when they were discharged from the Department of General Surgery of Yueyang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Aunt Mao, 58 years old this year, completed the uterine + appendix myxoma removal surgery in the provincial hospital four years ago, which cost more than 100,000 yuan and the operation was traumatic, and the doctor also clearly informed that the recurrence rate after the operation was very high.
Just over 20 days ago, the family's worst fears happened. Aunt Mao had recurrent abdominal distension and went to a provincial hospital for treatment, where she was diagnosed with a secondary malignant tumor of the peritoneum (pseudomyxoma peritonei), and was told that the operation was difficult, expensive and could not guarantee the effect. This news was like a bolt from the blue, which made Aunt Mao feel desperate, and even wanted to give up treatment.
Her lover refused to give up lightly, took her around to seek medical treatment, and was recommended to find Dai Bing, director of the Department of General Surgery of Yueyang City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Director Dai Bing patiently explained: "Your current physical condition is not suitable for surgery, you need to undergo TCM conditioning to enhance your physique first, and then perform laparoscopic tumor cytoreductive surgery + abdominal hyperthermic chemotherapy, through surgery to remove the tumor tissue in the abdominal cavity, and then heat the chemotherapy solution during the operation to lavage the abdominal cavity to further remove the residual tumor cells and avoid tumor recurrence after surgery, thereby prolonging the survival period." You have to trust us, and you have to build faith to fight the disease."
After listening to Director Dai Bing's detailed explanation, Aunt Mao decided to accept the treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
Considering that Aunt Mao's physical condition at that time was not suitable for surgery, Qin Wei, deputy director of the Department of General Surgery, formulated a traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment plan for her according to her physical condition, combined with the cause, location and nature of the disease. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment is used to enhance physical fitness, and cardiopulmonary and other functional exercises are carried out before surgery to improve surgical tolerance and lay a good foundation for follow-up treatment.
After a period of careful conditioning and preparation, laparoscopic tumor cytoreductive surgery + hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy was successfully completed on April 7. After the operation, Aunt Mao received comprehensive care and supportive treatment. Actively rehydrate, nutritional support treatment, maintain water and electrolyte balance, and take the Wide Intestine Qi Regulating Decoction to regulate the internal organs, promote dampness and detoxification, and smooth the effect of Qi and Intestine Relaxation.
On the day after the operation, the patient was able to get out of bed and move, and then underwent three hot perfusion treatments, combined with traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application therapy, moxibustion, acupoint stimulation massage and other methods, which alleviated the patient's nausea and vomiting. One week after the operation, all drains were removed, and he was discharged from the hospital 12 days later.
Director Qin Wei introduced that tumor cytoreductive surgery is for patients with advanced tumors, to remove the tumor to the maximum extent and achieve the removal of the tumor as much as possible, and for the part that cannot be cut, intraperitoneal thermal perfusion chemotherapy is used, and the perfusate containing chemotherapy drugs is heated to the therapeutic temperature (40-43 °C) and enters the blood and the whole body through the peritoneum, which plays a role in killing and controlling tumor growth.
It is suitable for peritoneal implantation and metastasis of various peritoneal tumors and malignant tumors, such as peritoneal pseudomyxoma, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, peritoneal implant metastasis, etc.
