For Ms. Liu, who lives in the vegetable town of Shouguang, Weifang, Shandong, this year’s trip to Jinan at the beginning of the Year of the Tiger , can be said to be a trip to the sun that changes life and the future.
Ms. Liu is only 41 years old this year, but has been suffering from constipation for 4 or 5 years. Speaking of this, many people will think “what is constipation?” This is of course the solution to the general constipation problem, but for patients with intractable constipation, these methods have no effect because the large intestine itself has undergone substantive lesions such as intestinal dilation and peristalsis hypofunction.
Almost all types of laxatives have been taken once. Usually, they work at the beginning, but they become “resistant” after a while. When she came to Jinan, Ms. Liu’s belly was swollen like a pregnant woman because of constipation. As a young man with relatively well-informed information, Ms. Liu also heard about the minimally invasive constipation surgery carried out by the First Department of Gastroenterology of Jinan Central Hospital, but in order to nurture the newborn child, the great mother persisted for 11 months. Weaned, and then came to Jinan to find Director Sun Shaochuan.
When she came, Ms. Liu’s problem was quite serious. She couldn’t get rid of stool or eat for 6-7 days. The seriousness of the problem can also be seen by X-ray and CT.
Under the leadership of Director Sun Shaochuan, the technical team of the first department of gastrointestinal surgery performed laparoscopic subtotal colectomy for the patient. Subtotal colon resection and colorectal re-anastomosis were completed through five abdominal punctures. After the operation, Ms. Liu recovered smoothly, and the minimally invasive surgical method also made the postoperative pain that Ms. Liu worried about become a more relaxed postoperative recovery process. The key is that after years of constipation has been resolved, Ms. Liu finally felt the feeling of smooth bowel movements.
So, why are more and more patients undergoing constipation surgery? Xu Zhongkai, the chief physician of the First Department of Gastroenterology, explained that on the one hand, there is a huge population base of constipation patients. “The surgery has become less invasive, no incision, less painful, less risky surgery, and faster post-operative recovery.
Based on this, the minimally invasive constipation surgery technical team, chief physician Liu Guoqin, has performed operations on nearly 100 patients with constipation in recent years, and has continuously improved the surgical procedures. Good surgical procedures are recognized by peers.
Spring is here. Before leaving the hospital, Ms. Liu happily invited the doctors to see rapeseed flowers. The recovery of the patient is also the most pleasant thing in the work for the doctor. Minimally invasive surgery for constipation is not a technique carried out by every major hospital. Many constipation patients suffer from nowhere to seek medical treatment and go back and forth in various hospitals. It is a very painful thing to be unable to solve the bowel movement. Such suffering should not continue. The “cold winter” of disease should pass, and the “spring” of health will finally come.
