Why do many patients with gastric prolapse have colonectomy surgery?
Hello everyone, I am Dr. Peng Delu in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. Why do many patients with gastric prolapse have colonectomy surgery? Many patients with gastric prolapse have colectomy surgery mainly because colectomy surgery can effectively improve the symptoms of gastric prolapse.
Gastric prolapse is an abnormal decrease in the position of the stomach, resulting in an impact on the digestive function of the stomach. The colon is part of the digestive system and is connected to the small intestine. After colectomy surgery, it can reduce the time that food stays in the intestines and improve the symptoms of gastric prolapse.
However, not all patients with gastric prolapse require colectomy surgery, and surgery is considered only if the symptoms of gastric prolapse are severe and cannot be relieved by other methods. At the same time, the risks of surgery and postoperative recovery also need to be fully evaluated and considered. Therefore, for gastric prolapse, the appropriate method should be selected under the guidance of the physician, and the individualized plan should be formulated according to the specific situation of the patient.
That's all for today, thank you for your attention, your attention to me, and your attention to a healthy stomach.
