Recently, the team of the First Department of Surgery of Qingshui County People’s Hospital, with the strong cooperation of the Department of Surgical Anesthesiology, successfully performed a retroperitoneal tumor (teratoma) operation on a young female patient.
The 23-year-old female patient was hospitalized in another hospital 1 year ago due to the discovery of a painless mass in the abdomen. After a color Doppler ultrasound examination, a round mass was found on the left side of the abdomen. , not processed. This time, I went to Qingshui County People’s Hospital to see a doctor, and the abdominal CT examination showed that the mixed density mass in the left middle abdomen was considered to be a teratoma. After careful preparation by the team of the first department outside the hospital, under the escort of the surgical anesthesia department, the retroperitoneal tumor surgery was successfully performed for the patient.
According to reports, retroperitoneal tumor surgery is difficult and risky, and it is a major surgery in general surgery. Teratomas are classified as mature teratoma, immature teratoma, monoblastoma, or highly specific teratoma. Mature cystic teratoma is usually a benign tumor, because of its possibility of malignant transformation, it generally requires surgery.
In recent years, the First Department of Surgery of Qingshui County People’s Hospital has not only carried out routine general surgery, but also carried out the diagnosis and treatment and surgery of digestive tract tumors. The development of the treatment of retroperitoneal tumors has provided great convenience for some people in Qingshui County and surrounding areas to seek medical treatment.
