Summary
This summary is machine-generated.The closed continuous irrigation drainage technique (CCIDT) and narrative nursing improve recovery and quality of life for ultra-low rectal cancer patients. This combined approach enhances postoperative outcomes and reduces patient anxiety.
Area Of Science
- Colorectal Surgery
- Oncology Nursing
- Patient Recovery
Background
- Ultra-low rectal cancer (ULRC) presents surgical challenges, particularly in anus-preserving operations.
- Optimizing postoperative recovery, anxiety management, and quality of life is crucial for ULRC patients.
Purpose Of The Study
- To evaluate the combined effects of closed continuous irrigation drainage technique (CCIDT) and narrative nursing.
- To assess impacts on recovery, anxiety, and quality of life in ULRC patients undergoing anus-preserving surgery.
Main Methods
- Retrospective analysis of 224 ULRC patients across four groups: conventional drainage with routine care/narrative nursing, and CCIDT with routine care/narrative nursing.
- Outcome measures included postoperative exhaust time, drainage tube duration, length of stay, anxiety (GAD-7), and quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30).
Main Results
- CCIDT significantly reduced postoperative exhaust time, drainage tube placement time, and length of stay (p < 0.001).
- Narrative nursing significantly decreased anxiety levels and improved quality of life (p < 0.001).
- Neither CCIDT nor narrative nursing significantly impacted anastomotic fistula or abdominal infection rates.
Conclusions
- The combination of CCIDT and narrative nursing offers significant benefits for ULRC patients.
- This integrated approach enhances postoperative recovery, alleviates anxiety, and improves overall quality of life.

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:
Strictureplasty
Proctocolectomy or total colectomy with ileostomy
Restorative proctocolectomy with Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis
