Playdough Surgery 🔪- Colectomy (colon removal) and Colostomy Creation - aka Hartmann Procedure
.
“Do all people only poop out of their butt? Can the poop come out from anywhere else?” - my 3yo wondered aloud one day.
.
I had to take this opportunity to tell him about the lifesaving surgeries that result in the creation of an opening in the abdomen (called a stoma) to release waste products. Did you know? More than 1 million people in North America live with a permanent ostomy, and some 100,000 new ostomy surgeries are being performed each year.
.
Thankfully, most colon surgeries can be completed without needing an ostomy. But our patient had an advanced, perforated colon cancer that required emergent removal (sometimes these are reversed later and reconnected when the patient is feeling better). My little guy couldn’t wait to stick his hand 👋🏻 into the abdomen and pull out the sigmoid colon like the surgeons in the videos we watched.
.
Last thought: it is sobering that colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in both men and women in the United States and the second most common cause of cancer-related death. African Americans have the highest incidence of colorectal cancer, >20% higher than in whites, and an even larger difference in mortality - they are more often diagnosed at an earlier age and with more advanced disease.
