Due to the low location of the tumor (usually patients with ultra-low rectal cancer need to undergo combined abdominoperineal resection), i.e., the anus is removed together with the surgery, and an artificial anus must be performed to solve the subsequent defecation problem. Patients with rectal cancer after stoma surgery are not aware of defecation control at the initial stage, which may bring inconvenience to their lives, so how should they recover after surgery? 1.Be happy to be “stoma man” and face life openly After rectal cancer stoma surgery, patients only have changes in defecation site and habits, and their digestive and absorption functions are not affected. However, in fact, in the early post-operative period, many patients will be pessimistic, uncertain and even reluctant to face the reality due to the double blow of psychological and physiological effects of learning that they have cancer and become an ostomate. At this time, with the accompaniment of family members, they should actively adjust their mentality, participate in outdoor activities organized by stoma patients and increase the opportunities to learn about stoma, so that they can change their roles as soon as possible. 2.Progressive resumption of diet At the early stage of intestinal surgery, after the intestine resumes peristalsis, it is possible to eat appropriately, and the transition from liquid, soft food to regular food should be followed gradually; especially for stoma patients, more attention should be paid to the diet, and as far as possible, less slaggy and easily digestible food should be eaten to avoid obstruction of the intestinal stoma, and less spicy and other stimulating food and gas-producing food should be eaten to avoid intestinal flatulence. 3.Regular review Postoperative recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer usually occurs within 5 years after surgery, especially 2 years after surgery is the high incidence period, which greatly affects the treatment effect and survival of patients, so regular review should be conducted after surgery. In general, within 1 year after surgery, the review should be conducted every three months; within 2-3 years after surgery, the review should be conducted every six months; after four years after surgery, the review can be conducted once a year. Especially for stoma patients, in addition to the possibility of recurrence and metastasis after surgery, they are prone to stoma complications and dermatitis within one year after surgery, so they need to be reviewed within 2 weeks after surgery, and then after 1 month, the stoma can be reviewed every three months after there is no discomfort.
