Sigmoid Colon Resection


Answers

Has anybody had the surgical procedure called, sigmoid colon resection. Not laproscopic either.?
Villous Adenoma of the Sigmoid Colon

If You have. How was the outcome. How was the procedure. Is there anything you could share with me to help me decide or not decide to go through with this procedure?


I have never had the procedure myself, but I can tell you I rarely see any complications from the surgery and most patients go home in 4-5 days.

I’m not sure why you would consider not having the surgery. I am sure your doctors are recommending it as your cancer could not be completely removed on colonoscopy. If this is the case there is no other possibility of curing you. The tumor will get bigger and you will most likely have to have the surgery eventually just to be able to empty your bowls, but by that time it will be too late to save your life.

How long will my mother live when she is diagnosed with colon cancer - adenocarcinoma at stage 3?

Feb 2007, my mom was diagnosed w adenocarcinoma stage 3. she had her sigmoid resection and for past months been undergoing chemotherapy. she's now on her 9th of 12 sessions. d med she's taking is eloxatin (oxyplatin). so far so good. she's weak right after each session but regain her strength after a week. Do u think she will survive cancer?


Your mother does have a very good chance of survival. While stage III adenocarcinoma is serious it is probably (emphasis on probably) still confined to her colon. With God's help I pray the surgeon removed all affected areas of the colon. If so, with chemo therapy to fight any remaining malignant cell growth she has a better than good chance of beating it. I wish you and your mother God's blessings.

Please note that any diagnosis or prognosis given without proper records, as well as all biopsy, radiology, lab and other diagnostic test results is suspect. I will of course keep the both of you in my prayers. Remember, whether or not you believe in God the power of faith and strength of human will can have a dramatic effect on anyone's health.

God bless

L), and a high C-reactive protein (CRP) level (16.7 mg/dL). A CT scan showed fluid and gas collection in the retroperitoneum adjacent to the primary tumor (Figure 2 ). This condition was diagnosed as a retroperitoneal abscess and emergent CT guided drainage of the abscess was performed. A pigtail catheter was inserted into the abscess and pus with gas and odor was drained; an infection caused by gas-producing anaerobic microorganisms was strongly suspected. The patient recovered temporarily, but high fever, crepitus, and diffuse swelling in the left thigh appeared 4 days after the drainage. A CT scan of the pelvis and lower extremity revealed a fluid and gas tracking from the retroperitoneum into the intramuscular plane of the grossly enlarged left thigh (Figure 3 ), although the size of the abscess had drastically reduced as a result of the drainage. A presumptive diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis of the left thigh was made, and the patient was immediately taken to the operation room. A wide debridement of the external fascia was performed to reveal the healthy tissue, the retroperitoneum was drained again, and loop ileostomy was created. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit and administered intravenous antibiotics (carbapenem). Microbiological culture of the pus revealed the presence of and other anaerobic bacteria. The patient showed good postoperative recovery, and the primary tumor was resected 2 months after the first surgery. The operative findings indicated that the cancerous lesion and the tissues surrounding it were firmly attached to the left retroperitoneum. Multiple liver and peritoneal metastases were also detected. Palliative resection of the primary tumor was performed in order to prevent the recurrence of retroperitoneal inflammation. On the basis of the operative findings, the tumor was classified as a T4 (invading the psoas muscle), N1, and M1 (liver and peritoneum), and the patient was clinically diagnosed with stage IV cancer according to the definitions laid down by the International Union Against Cancer (UICC). The patient was given oxaliplatinm 5-fluorouracil, and folinic acid (modified FOLFOX6) therapy, but, he died due to cancer 8 months after the second surgery.
