“Bright sword”! Uncovering the Medical Oddity——”Switch” Surgery

Surgical resection is the preferred treatment method for tumors, which can rapidly remove tumor lesions in a short time and minimize tumor burden. However, the operation has a large trauma to the body and slow recovery, so it is necessary to grasp the indications.

In the current medical system environment, there is a strange phenomenon – “switch” surgery, also That is to say, the patient is lying on the operating table, and the scalpel has already opened the abdominal cavity, chest cavity, or brain, etc., and it is only at this time that the tumor is found to be unresectable, and then the incision is sewed up again, referred to as “switching” surgery.

Preoperative non-invasive examination methods are quite advanced in today’s era. Whether the cancer can be radically cured or palliatively resected can basically be fully evaluated before surgery. However, “switch” operations in surgery are still common, which undoubtedly increases the pain and financial burden of patients.

The curative effect of surgical resection is not only related to the characteristics, development degree and surgical indications of the cancer itself In addition, it also largely depends on the doctor-operator’s level. The difference between high-quality surgical resection outcomes and low-level surgery can be worlds apart! Unlike drug therapy, doctors are different, but as long as the right drug is selected, there is no big difference in efficacy. Therefore, In the process of seeing a doctor, it is very important to find the right person (doctor), not the right hospital; there are good doctors in the most basic hospitals, and there may be quack doctors in even the most advanced hospitals.

How can I find the right person? Patients generally don’t know which doctor’s surgical skills and medical ethics are good or bad, and only colleagues know. Therefore, patients need to find a good consultant for seeing a doctor, which is the meaning of “seeking a doctor with an acquaintance” as we usually say.

In addition, tumors are systemic diseases after all, and patients will still face problems such as recurrence and metastasis of cancer cells after surgery. Therefore, it is very important to regulate the “soil” of the patient’s body after surgery to minimize recurrence. If patients can cooperate with natural therapy after surgery, the possibility of recurrence and metastasis will be greatly reduced. In clinical practice, they should be comprehensively applied, complement each other’s advantages, and exert the greatest curative effect.

In the whole process of cancer treatment, how to grasp the balance and how to avoid over-treatment requires wisdom. Many doctors and patients themselves blindly pursue the tumor-free state of the human body, leading to over-treatment, which is counterproductive. Simple causes are often overcomplicated. To use an analogy, it is equivalent to shooting a “bird” with a cannon. When the “bird” is shot down, the “tree” is also blown up and loses its meaning.

Modern medicine is divided into two categories: One is disease-oriented medicine, which is mainly modeled, procedural Sexual treatment, generally belonging to allopathic therapy, is currently the main therapy in hospitals. The second is patient-centered medicine, which takes the patient as the center and adopts all feasible methods to make the patient achieve the best health status, activate and improve immune function, correct dysfunctional organs, and make the internal environment harmonious. Obviously, the latter is more in line with human nature.

In short, when dealing with malignant tumors, we should bid farewell to overtreatment and move towards appropriate treatment; loosen the “tumor-free” survival stance, and begin to accept the “tumor-bearing” survival concept. The standard of success in cancer treatment is no longer tumor shrinkage or disappearance, but prolongation of survival and improvement of quality of life.

Avoid single treatment and move towards comprehensive treatment; no No longer jealous of “evil” like hatred, gradually abandoning the “killing without mercy” war mode, accepting the “palliative” mode, and then moving towards a peaceful and gentle mode, and completing the turn from “from suppression to appeasement, and both suppression and appeasement”, is “winning” Method.
