"Dr.

Speaking of which, Lao Han is an "old acquaintance" in the Department of Cancer Surgery at the First Hospital of Zhejiang University.

For further treatment, the family went to the Oncology Surgery Department of the First Hospital of Zhejiang University.

"We all like to eat some pickled by ourselves.

The postoperative pathology showed that his gastric cancer was in the middle stage.

"Gastroscopy found that his esophagus was space-occupying with bile reflux.

Esophageal reconstruction faces a dilemma

"Colon Translocation" shows great power

"Director Teng, isn't my father just getting a tumor? Just cut it off, why come to you.

"In general esophageal cancer surgery, after the cancerous esophagus is removed, part of the gastrectomy is usually turned up and anastomosed with the esophageal incision to ensure the connection between the remaining esophagus and the stomach.

However, Lao Han’s situation is quite special.

Simply put, during the operation, the doctor first removes the esophageal tumor, and then frees a section of intestine from the colon.

Why use the colon instead of the esophagus and not the small intestine? Professor Teng Lisong explained that people’s small intestine has many branches of blood vessels , like a long river connected with countless tributaries.

The colon creates the possibility to solve this dilemma.

One of the most difficult operations in general surgery

In this case, it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible

In the view of Professor Teng Lisong, this operation, like pancreaticoduodenectomy, is one of the most difficult and challenging operations in the field of general surgery.

"The radical resection of esophageal cancer itself is a highly difficult operation.
" Professor Teng Lisong said that the esophagus is located deep in the human body and is close to important blood vessels and organs such as the aorta and lungs.
It is an operable space for surgical resection.
Small, it is not easy to clean the surrounding lymph nodes.
However, it is more difficult to reconstruct the esophagus using the colon, and the doctor's precise anastomosis requirements are extremely high.
Once an anastomotic leakage occurs, fatal problems such as empyema will occur.

"No matter how difficult it is, we are willing to give it a try.
We believe in the strength of Zhejiang Yi.
" The resolute request of the old Han family strengthened the doctor's confidence.
With the cooperation of departments such as the anesthesiology department and operating room, Professor Teng Lisang performed the surgery for Lao Han in about 5 hours.
"We removed the tumor in the middle and lower part of his esophagus, freeing a section of the colon that was nearly 30 cm long.
The esophagus was reconstructed, and his remaining stomach was not functioning anymore and was also removed.
"

Before being discharged from the hospital, Lao Han took a photo with Professor Teng Lisong

Both esophageal cancer and gastric cancer are among the top ten tumors in my country.
Among them, the treatment of esophageal cancer is difficult and the effect is poor.
He suffers from two kinds of tumors.
While he was fortunate that he chose the First Hospital of Zhejiang University, he also wondered: how Has both types of high-incidence tumors happened to me at the same time?

In this regard, Teng Lisong explained that the esophagus and the stomach are two adjacent organs, and both belong to the organs of the digestive tract.
To a certain extent, people who get gastric cancer are also high-risk groups for esophageal cancer.
And our eating habits and unhealthy lifestyles, such as eating pickled, high-temperature fried foods, smoking, drinking, etc.
, are all "boosters" for tumors in the digestive tract.

For this reason, experts reminded that if there is a foreign body sensation or difficulty swallowing during the intake of water, you must go to the hospital to check the possibility of esophageal cancer in time.
Generally speaking, gastroscopy can detect esophageal cancer and gastric cancer as soon as possible in one step; Remember to screen another organ for a tumor , so that it can be detected and treated early.
