medical bulletin
Hospital Sírio-Libanês, located in the south zone of São Paulo, issued a medical bulletin, reinforcing Flora’s information. “The patient Preta Maria Gadelha Gil Moreira underwent, yesterday, a surgical procedure for the treatment of a rectal tumor. The surgery was uneventful and, at the moment, she is awake, in good general condition, with normal clinical parameters, undergoing postoperative care in the Intensive Care Unit.”
Understand how the surgical procedure was performed
Preta was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in January of this year and, in March, suffered septicemia, the result of an infection through the chemotherapy catheter, in which she spent four hours losing consciousness, resuscitation and 20 days in the ICU.
A CNN physician Luiza Dib, oncologist and Clinical Research Coordinator at Hospital Sírio-Libanês de Brasília, detailed how the bowel tumor develops in the body and how the surgery is performed for its removal.
According to the doctor, tumors in the intestine originate from polyps, benign lesions that do not give symptoms to patients, but which still need prevention.
According to the specialist, there are two options for surgery to remove the tumor in the intestine, also known as colon cancer, in an advanced stage.
“The surgery can be done through the traditional route, which we call the open route, the one that has cuts, but videolaparoscopy is increasingly being used, surgery performed by video and in some cases it even receives the help of a robot”, explained Dib.
Still according to the doctor, the procedure performed by video has an advantage over the traditional one. “The advantage of the video operation is a faster recovery of the patient, since the surgical incisions are made with small cuts”, he added.
The postoperative conditions of this type of surgery are usually favorable to patients, even with limitations and adaptations.
