If one day there is a breakthrough in medicine to replace organs, surgeons can cut them at will. Is there such a possibility? The creation of organs is equivalent to the Creator, which is too amazing, and it is a bit too far away to achieve this goal with the current scientific capabilities of human beings. It's better to think about how to continue to kill tumor cells faster.
In the same way, where can I find a supplement for the child with a large section of the esophagus that is hollowed out by esophageal atresia. The only way is to let the child quickly continue to grow organs to make up for it. Note that this long organ, the esophagus, cannot grow back to such a long length. Doctors hope that nutrition will supply other organs to grow.
Long organs need nutrients, and the esophagus seals off the digestive tract that does not get nutrients to the lower part.
Children have to eat to supplement nutrition. This is due to the lack of digestive tract structure. What needs to be done is not intravenous nutrition, but to rebuild the digestive tract as soon as possible. At this time, the doctor will choose to perform gastrostomy or enterostomy on the patient.
It's the same fistula, this time it's intentionally man-made, and it's a form of medical treatment. A hole is made in the surface of the abdominal cavity and a tunnel (fistula) is made to reach the patient's stomach or intestines. In this way, nutritious things can enter the child's digestive tract from the outside for digestion and absorption.
The fistula surgery above is a one-stage procedure, and the goal is to prepare it for a two-stage procedure.
If the nutrition is sufficient, the other organs of the child will grow healthily to a certain age, usually when the child grows up to about four, five or six years old. Through examination, the doctor confirmed that the child's other organs have grown strong, which means that the doctor can find the material of the feeding tube from the child's other organs.
The second-stage operation is to do this: take parts from other organs of the child to replace the missing esophagus, reconnect the esophagus and stomach, and restore the normal digestive system.
This operation method is similar to esophageal cancer operation. A section is cut from the stomach to make the esophagus. Otherwise, cut a section from the intestine to make the esophagus. Such an operation is called a stomach or colon esophagectomy.
Sounds old and cruel. This child was born to be treated similarly to a tumor patient.
Parents who hear this, who would think that the child has a type I.
Hu Hao held up the handkerchief given by the doctor and wiped his sweat. Fortunately, he failed to curse his son.
Which is the best type? To sum up, it must be the V type (H type). Type H is the only type of esophageal atresia in which the entire esophagus has grown in the child, but it just happens to be connected to the trachea with a fistula. It is easier for doctors to deal with H-type. Since last year, Seoul Surgery has been able to use thoracoscopy to solve h-type fistula.
Compared with those surgeries that frequently open the chest, this operation can be regarded as a "small incision", which can be regarded as a relatively "small" operation in Seoul.
Therefore, it was dangerous for Hu Hao, the parent, to yell at his son loudly. In fact, his son is the lucky one compared to other children.
You must know that children with congenital diseases like this often do not suffer from congenital malformations of a single organ. Many children are born with multiple organ malformations. It is necessary for various departments to jointly perform major surgery on the child.
In the eyes of the surgeons in Seoul, the current child's disease is considered to be relatively pediatric. As Dr. Tian said, he has to line up to make way for other critically ill children. However, doctors will not say that they are not taken seriously, and minor illnesses cannot lead to serious illnesses. Explain clearly to the family members, let the family members feel at ease first, continue to do what they should do, and avoid accidents.
