Radical resection of rectal cancer, because the lesion is close to the anus, often can not retain the anus and colostomy in the left abdomen, that is, called "artificial door", from which the stool is excreted. There are the following points for attention in postoperative nursing:
First of all, it is necessary to relieve the unnecessary ideological burden and keep a good mood. For patients with anal reconstruction due to surgery, because the artificial anus has no sphincter, and there is an abnormal smell all over the body, patients often have an ideological burden, so it is necessary to explain and encourage, and help and guide patients to do a good job of artificial anal nursing. To make the patient understand that anal reconstruction is only the transfer of the anus from the perineum to the abdomen, no one looks at it strangely, he can completely control his own defecation, and he is no different from a normal person.
