Multiple treatment modalities can be combined, and collaboration among different departments is important. A patient presented with rectal cancer with metastases to the liver, lungs, and scalp, which were excised completely. The scalp lesion recurred twice, and the final procedure was a free flap reconstruction after wide excision. Since then, there has been no recurrence, and the patient has had an excellent quality of life after 8 years of follow-up. The overall survival of colorectal cancer is increasing owing to improvements in surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Aggressive treatment is helpful in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.","PeriodicalId":12390,"journal":{"name":"Formosan Journal of Surgery","volume":"56 1","pages":"62 - 64"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43743057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is crucial to maintain postoperative wounds properly in the community to avoid complications including wound dehiscence and surgical-site infections. It is crucial tomaintain postoperative wounds in the community as best as possible to avoid problems including wound dehiscence and surgical-site infections. The physiology of wound healing and the concepts of postoperative wound care should therefore be understood by practitioners. At the moment, the COVID-19 outbreak is having a significant impact on clinical practice. There are numerous effects of clinical surgery. It is possible to see the decision making and quality of care for the patient with an acute medical problem. COVID-19 has been affecting our setting in Southeast Asia since January 2020, after East Asia. It is possible to observe the impact on surgical care of a patient with amedical problem. According to a recent report, the COVID-19 period had a longer operative time for the management of patients with acute abdomen problems that required surgical management than the pre–COVID-19 period. In addition to the previous observation, the authors reassess the available data to determine how the COVID-19 outbreak affects postoperative wound infection. The setting is a Southeast Asian country. The public data from a tertiary hospital were reviewed again. Data were compared between April 2020, when COVID-19 was at its peak, and April 2019, when COVID-19 did not exist. The rates of postoperative wound infectionwere compared (Table 1). The rates do not differ statistically (4.55% vs 5.00% for per-COVID vs COVID; P = 0.05). This can demonstrate that even during a crisis, if standard surgical management for infection control is still in place, the infectious complication can be controlled. This study's findings are consistent with a recent report by Bacalbasa and Balescu, who found no increased postoperative risk during the COVID-19 period.","PeriodicalId":12390,"journal":{"name":"Formosan Journal of Surgery","volume":"56 1","pages":"137 - 137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47697351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
