北榮新竹分院成功為高齡患者置放大腸金屬支架 緩解腸阻塞

Quick Look

北榮民總醫院新竹分院胃腸科團隊為一名年近9旬的阿嬤成功置放大腸自膨式金屬支架,緩解其腸道阻塞,避免開刀手術,恢復排氣排便功能,為大竹東地區首例。

〔記者廖雪茹/新竹報導〕一名年近9旬的阿嬤日前因反覆腹脹、嘔吐急診就醫,經電腦斷層檢查,赫然發現橫結腸長了腫瘤,造成嚴重大腸阻塞,體內氣體與內容物無法排出。考量阿嬤高齡且體力衰弱,家屬對傳統手術風險有所顧慮,臺北榮民總醫院新竹分院胃腸科醫療團隊評估後,決定執行「大腸自膨式金屬支架(SEMS)」置放術,成功在免開刀的情況下讓阿嬤重獲新生。

這項治療為大竹東地區醫療院所的首例成功案例。胃腸科主任蔡志奇指出,大腸癌若引發嚴重腸阻塞,患者可能出現腹脹、腹痛、嘔吐及無法排便等症狀,未及時處理恐造成腸道缺血、穿孔甚至重度感染。過往面臨此類危急狀況,多半需緊急剖腹開刀;但透過「大腸金屬支架」,醫師可在超細微的內視鏡與X光影像導引下,將支架精準送達腫瘤狹窄處,利用支架自動彈開擴張的特性撐開腸道,迅速恢復腸道通暢。

請繼續往下閱讀...

考量阿婆高齡及身體狀況,家屬希望以侵襲性較低的方式先解除腸阻塞,腸胃科團隊因此評估「自膨式金屬支架」置放的可行性。阿嬤在等候器材期間曾一度因症狀復發再次返院,醫療團隊展現高效率,於住院第三天順利完成手術。術後支架精準撐開病灶,原本嚴重的腹脹與嘔吐立即消退,排氣與排便功能恢復正常,整體狀況迅速穩定。

蔡志奇表示,對於高齡、體質虛弱或不適合急診手術的患者,金屬支架提供了低侵襲性且高效率的治療選擇,大幅降低手術風險並提升生活品質。

北榮新竹分院強調,此次成功展現了偏鄉在地內視鏡介入治療的躍進,未來將持續集結胃腸科、影像醫學與外科等跨團隊力量,讓大新竹及竹東在地鄉親不必遠赴外地,就能享有即時、多元且優質的頂級醫療服務。

Open Questions

  • 支架置放後的長期追蹤結果如何?
  • 該技術在其他偏鄉醫院的推廣時間表是什麼?
  • 阿嬤的腫瘤是否需要後續其他治療?

Food consistency affects satiety. Weight loss requires attention to form rather than just calories.

Li Sixian, a physician at Linhao Western Medicine Clinic, pointed out that food viscosity will affect gastric emptying and GLP-1 secretion, thereby changing satiety and subsequent food intake. Research shows that those who drink the thickest drinks eat about 12% less pizza, and the satiety caused by liquid calories is only about half that of solid food. He reminded that weight loss should not only focus on caloric intake, but food type is also very important, and clarified that the thick food referred to did not refer to food thickened with starch to increase the concentration.

Asking about health | Will eating egg yolks really increase blood lipids? If you abandon it, you will lose valuable nutrients.

Experts point out that cholesterol in food is different from human blood cholesterol, and discarding egg yolks can easily lead to nutrient loss. The increase in blood lipids is mainly affected by the intake of saturated fatty acids, trans fatty acids and sugar. It is recommended to eat a balanced diet rather than a single taboo of egg yolk.

Xinhua Viewpoint丨How to make medical reimbursement more secure for flexible employees

Seven departments including the National Medical Insurance Administration jointly issued a notice to launch a special campaign to improve the quality of basic medical insurance for key groups such as flexible employees. Through measures such as lowering the insurance threshold, flexible payment rules, and opening up medical insurance conversion channels, the medical insurance participation rate of employees with flexible employment will be increased to increase the reimbursement ratio and security level, and alleviate the problem of expensive and difficult medical treatment for workers in new employment forms such as takeaway riders.
