What are the precautions for cleaning after liver cancer surgery

Although liver cancer is a malignant tumor that is difficult to cure, with the development of modern medical technology, if liver cancer surgery is performed and the liver is removed, it can still significantly help inhibit canceration and prolong survival. Health care after liver cancer surgery has become the key to determining the effectiveness of the surgery.

Skin care should be strengthened during liver cancer surgery because drainage tubes, retained catheterization, malnutrition, and excessive sputum are all potential risks of infection. Scrub the whole body several times a day with warm water, keep the mouth and perineum clean, keep the bed clean and dry, and change the sheets and hospital gowns once a day. Strengthen oral care during fasting after liver cancer surgery. During dressing changes, treatment, and nursing, strictly implement aseptic operating procedures to cut off the infection route; keep each drainage tube unobstructed, no positive signs in the abdomen, and when the drainage volume is <5ml, remove the drainage tube in time to prevent infection; warn patients and their families not to uncover the gauze at will or touch the incision with their hands to prevent contamination; when replacing each drainage tube, be sure to disinfect it with a dilute iodine tincture cotton swab, use antibiotics reasonably, and prevent and control infection.

Therefore, comprehensive hygiene care is essential for patients after liver cancer surgery. Strictly ensuring the hygiene conditions of patients after liver cancer surgery is of great significance for postoperative recovery and prognosis of liver cancer.
