What are the sequelae after radical surgery for colon cancer

Any surgery involves certain risks. Colon cancer patients need to be fully prepared before surgery, especially their mental state must be adjusted well. If they have emotions before entering the operating room, it will easily increase the difficulty of treatment and is especially likely to induce complications. So, what are the sequelae after radical surgery for colon cancer?

1. Anastomotic leakage Anastomotic leakage is a serious complication of colorectal surgery, and the incidence is higher in left-side colon and rectal one-stage surgery. The incidence of anastomotic leakage in traditional manual operation is 5% to 10%. After using stapler technology, the incidence of anastomotic leakage has decreased to about 2.5% to 6.6%.
2. Presacral bleeding Presacral bleeding is a serious complication of rectal surgery, and it is often fatal. The main reason is that the presacral venous plexus is damaged when separating the posterior wall of the rectum. Since the presacral venous plexus is in a network shape, fixed in front of the sacrum, and communicates with the vertebral veins in the sacral foramen, it is difficult to stop bleeding once the bleeding point shrinks into the sacral foramen. In order to prevent the occurrence of presacral bleeding, the free posterior wall of the rectum should be carefully placed in the correct gap. The method of dealing with bleeding can be the nailing method. If cleft lip and palate is really difficult to stop bleeding, gauze rolls can be used to compress and stop bleeding, and the effect is satisfactory. Avoid blind suturing.
