When aunt came back from paying the fee, Guo Xiang said, "let's be hospitalized here tonight. You should drink laxative for colonoscopy and have an examination early tomorrow morning."

"Can't you stop?" Aunt pinched. She heard that the charge of the hospital was very expensive. She came by to see it because it was close to home.

"That's OK." Guo Xiang nodded, "but don't eat after night. I'll prescribe laxatives for you. Take them at night. Don't eat breakfast tomorrow morning and come early."

"Good!" Aunt nodded.

Guo Xiang prescribed laxative to aunt again. There are still some precautions.

As soon as she went to work the next day, her aunt came, and Guo Xiang took her to have a colonoscopy.

The results really found that there was a mass at the junction of sigmoid colon and rectum. The mass circled the intestinal tube and the whole intestinal cavity became thinner, so aunt's stool would become thinner.

Guo Xiang saw the mass under the endoscope. It can be basically recognized as malignant. It should be cancer. There is one above the rectum and under the sigmoid colon.

After finishing, aunt got up and asked Guo Xiang, "how about doctor?"

Guo Xiang paused, "did your lover come with you today? Where's your child? "

Aunt panicked, "doctor, what's the matter with me? Very serious? "

"My old man is in poor health. I can't tell him. My children are not around and work in other places. Doctor, tell me directly that I can stand it." Aunt said so, but her hands shook.

Guo Xiang sighed, "it's probably colon cancer."

"What? Cancer? " Aunt's face turned pale. She never thought she would get cancer. She was in good health. She used to play Yangko every day, that is, she was uncomfortable recently. She thought it was just gastroenteritis. How could she not think it would be cancer?

"The specific thing is to do a pathological analysis, but 80% of it is..." Guo Xiang said.

"Then, will I die?" Aunt's face turned gray.

"No, no!" Guo Xiang hurriedly said, "colorectal cancer is the best cancer to treat. Just remove the intestines with long cancer."

"Is that so?" Aunt relaxed a little, "can you cut it off?"

"Well, but it depends on whether there is metastasis and a CT." Guo Xiang said.

"If you don't have colonoscopy, why do you have to do CT?" Aunt asked. She had heard that it was expensive to do this, and there was radiation.

Guo Xiang nodded, "enteroscopy can only see the inside of the intestines, but not the outside. CT is to see the outside, and then see if it has been transferred to other places."

Aunt nodded if she knew what to do. The doctor said to do it.

"Then... Can I keep my anus?" Aunt suddenly asked, the lump seems to be very close to the anus. What if it has to be removed?

"I'll try to keep it for you." Guo Xiang said, "this will not affect future life."

Some patients with severe bowel cancer will really remove the anus, and then the patient will live with a fecal bag all his life. The quality of life will be greatly reduced, and the patient will also be very painful.

Of course, compared with life, what is that pain?

"Doctor, you must help me keep it..." aunt's tears are coming down. How can I live if I can't shit?

"It should be." Guo Xiang said, "the main thing is to remove the intestines of the long cancer, and then connect the front and rear normal parts. The anus should be saved. But... "

"But what?" Aunt's heart was raised again.

"However, there may be inflammation, edema and other problems at the site of intestinal anastomosis after operation, and then cause rupture. If stool leaks out, it will pollute the abdominal cavity, which is serious." Guo Xiang said.

"Probably not?" Aunt worried.

"I'll do it for you personally and try my best, but everyone's constitution is different. It's hard to say whether it will be inflamed..." Guo Xiang said.

Aunt understood that the doctor didn't dare to guarantee 100%, but seeing that the doctor was so good, she said she would do it herself. Should it be all right?

"Is this operation scar big?" Asked aunt.

Guo Xiang smiles. Aunt still loves beauty. Maybe it's because people who can dance care about it.

"No, it's a laparoscope. Just open a small opening in the belly. It's minimally invasive. Don't worry, just a little, it'll be fine soon." Guo Xiang said.

"That's good!" Aunt is relieved.

Guo Xiang arranged for his aunt to be hospitalized and informed the operating room to arrange surgery.

Aunt's family came after hearing the news.

When waiting for the operation, she asked the patient's family to sign. Her daughter was very worried, "doctor, is the operation painful? Will my mother be all right?"

Guo Xiang nodded. "I will be anesthetized during the operation. Just sleep."

The patient pushed into the operating room, and Xu Wei followed him into the operating room to be Guo Xiang's assistant.

After anesthesia, Guo Xiang sterilized the patient's abdomen, covered it with a towel, opened a small opening, and extended the laparoscopic tube from the opening.

A laparoscope is a tube. There is a camera and an operating rod at the end of the tube. The camera is connected to the display and will transmit the images in the intestinal tube to the display. Doctors operate by looking at the display.

But as soon as the image was transmitted, Guo Xiang frowned.

The situation is much more complicated than expected. There are obvious adhesions around the tumor and many lymph nodes around. If you only use the operating rod on the laparoscope - the operating rod has the function of clamping and cutting, you can't clean all these well. You must open the abdomen.

Xu Wei and Guo Xiang looked at each other, "I went out and said to the patient's family."

When Xu Wei came out of the operating room, the patient's family surrounded him. Why did he come out so soon? What happened?

"Well, we found that the situation was serious during the operation. Laparoscopy may not completely clean up the tumor, and there is no way to stop bleeding. President Guo suggested changing to open surgery..."

"Is it so serious?" Aunt's daughter was frightened, "then my mother..."

"It's all right. It's just that you have a better chance of winning an open stomach. After all, human life is more important, isn't it?" Xu Wei said.

"All right!" Aunt and daughter nodded.

Then Xu Wei wrote the operation form again and asked her to sign it.

After that, Xu Wei washed her hands again and changed into the operating room.

After a few hours, the tumor in the intestine was cut out, the surrounding lymph nodes were cleaned, and there was no major bleeding. The intestinal tubes at both ends were sutured. The operation was very successful.

After his aunt was pushed out, Guo Xiang took off his mask. "The patient can't eat these days. We must pay attention to whether there is exhaust - that is, farting, which is very important. Only farting means that the intestinal tract recovers peristalsis and can it be normal."

"OK, thank you, doctor!" The patient's family quickly said.

On the third day, my aunt finally farted, and my family was relieved.

But in the afternoon, aunt suddenly had a high fever again.
