Bowel Resection (Colostomy/Ileostomy)Cancer is a disease that affects everyone everywhere, rich and poor, black and white, brown and yellow, Mexican, American, Russian and Singaporean , impartial, without preferences. Cancer is a highly studied and researched topic and although great advances in medicinal treatments have been discovered and developed through research, a cure has yet to be discovered. Cancer can affect any organ of the body and therefore can appear at any time and in any part of our body. There are known substances (carcinogens) that put the general population at risk of developing cancer, however exposure to carcinogens and carcinogens is not the only reason for the development of cancer and tumor. Nearly all colorectal cancers that begin as adenomatous polyps are adenocarcinomas. Most cancers develop in the rectum and sigmoid colon, although any part of the colon can be affected. The tumor typically grows unnoticed, producing few manifestations. By the time manifestations occur, the disease may have spread to the deeper layers of the intestinal tissue and adjacent organs. Colorectal cancer spreads by direct extension to involve the entire circumference of the intestine, the submucosa and the outer layers of the intestinal wall. Nearby structures such as the liver, greater curvature of the stomach, duodenum, small intestine, pancreas, genitourinary tract of the spleen, and abdominal wall may also be involved in direct extension. Metastases to regional lymph nodes are the most common form of tumor spread. This is not always an orderly process; distal lymph nodes may contain tumor cells while regional lymph nodes remain normal. Cancer cells from the primary tumor can spread through the lymphatic system or circulatory system to secondary sites such as t...... middle of paper ...... ileal colitis) following ileostomy closure is rare , but should be suspected when patients do not follow the usual postoperative clinical course after this elective surgery. Although the majority of CDC patients do not die from the infection, infections are associated with an increasing frequency of complications and this is related to the patient's age and comorbidities.” In conclusion, the patient undergoing an intestinal resection procedure is not only at risk of possible complications intraoperatively, but also postoperatively may be at risk of contracting other infections which can increase length of stay, increase medical expenses, increase anxiety and predispose the patient to other infections and diseases while they remain in the hospital.
