Abstract
Background: Large abdominal wall defect (LAWD) measures > 20 cm in width. LAWD can easily lead to intestinal necrosis, peritonitis, other complications, and even multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Multiple intestinal fistulas are high-flow fistulas that can cause severe water-electrolyte imbalance and malnutrition, as well as inflammation, high metabolic status, and chronic intestinal failure caused by intestinal fluid corrosion in tissues around the orifice fistulas.
Case summary: This article summarizes the nursing experience of a patient with sigmoid carcinoma who has LAWD with multiple intestinal fistula due to repeated operations for postoperative complications. The key points of care: Scientific assessment of nutritional status, dynamic adjustment of nutritional support programmes, comprehensive adoption of enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition and combined nutrition of enteral and parenteral; taking good care of abdominal wall defects and intestinal fistulas; continuous flushing of the abdominal drainage tube and low negative pressure drainage; prevention of venous thrombosis; strengthening of physical exercise; implementation of positive psychological interventions.
Conclusion: After more than 7 months of careful care, the patient's physical fitness has been well recovered, local inflammation is well controlled, which wins the opportunity for the operation, and the postoperative recovery is good.
期刊介绍:
The WJCO is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJCO is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of oncology. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJCO is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJCO are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in oncology. Scope: Art of Oncology, Biology of Neoplasia, Breast Cancer, Cancer Prevention and Control, Cancer-Related Complications, Diagnosis in Oncology, Gastrointestinal Cancer, Genetic Testing For Cancer, Gynecologic Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, Hematologic Malignancy, Lung Cancer, Melanoma, Molecular Oncology, Neurooncology, Palliative and Supportive Care, Pediatric Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Translational Oncology, and Urologic Oncology.
