Frequently Asked Questions
A hemipelvectomy involves removing part of the pelvis, often to treat bone cancers like sarcoma. It can be either internal, where the leg is preserved, or external, where the leg is amputated.
Life after a hemipelvectomy involves a long recovery period with rehabilitation. Many patients regain mobility with the help of prosthetics or assistive devices and can return to everyday activities.
Long-term effects include changes in mobility, bowel, and bladder function. Patients may require rehabilitation and stoma care to adjust to new ways of managing these bodily functions.
Risks include infection, bleeding, blood clots, and potential damage to surrounding organs. There is also a risk of serious complications, which should be thoroughly discussed with your healthcare team.
Recovery involves a hospital stay, followed by rehabilitation to regain strength and mobility. Patients will also receive training on stoma care, if needed, and may work with physical therapists for rehabilitation.
Yes, most patients can adapt to a new normal, managing stoma care or prosthetics. With rehabilitation and support, most people return to daily activities and lead fulfilling lives.
Support includes physical therapy, stoma care education, and emotional counseling. Many healthcare centers offer specialized rehabilitation programs and support groups to help patients adjust post-surgery.
A stoma is a surgically created opening on the surface of the abdomen, allowing bodily waste to pass out of the body.
⦿ Purpose: Allows bodily waste to exit when normal function is impaired.
⦿ Common reasons: Colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, bladder cancer.
⦿ Types: Colostomy (colon), ileostomy (small intestine), urostomy (urinary system).
⦿ Waste collection: A bag attached to the stoma collects waste.
⦿ Post-surgery care: Requires special care and management to prevent infections.
Life after bladder or rectum removal requires some adjustments, but with proper care, patients can live fulfilling lives.
⦿ After bladder removal, a urinary diversion or urostomy may be needed to help drain urine. For rectal removal, a colostomy or ileostomy is used for stool passage.
⦿ Patients must follow post-surgery care instructions, including maintaining stoma hygiene and dietary changes. Regular follow-ups with the healthcare team are crucial to monitor recovery and manage any complications.
Managing a stoma involves proper care to ensure comfort and prevent complications. Here are key steps:
⦿ Cleanliness: Gently clean the skin around the stoma with warm water and pat dry.
⦿ Stoma bag: Change the stoma bag regularly, ensuring it fits well to avoid leaks.
⦿ Skin protection: Use barrier creams or wipes to prevent skin irritation.
⦿ Diet: Eat a balanced diet to minimize gas and odor.
⦿ Monitor changes: Watch for redness, swelling, or infection around the stoma and consult your doctor if needed.
Yes, patients can walk after pelvic bone removal, but it depends on the extent of surgery and rehabilitation. Initially, walking may require assistance like crutches or walkers.
⦿ A specialized rehabilitation program, including physiotherapy, is crucial to regain mobility and strength.
⦿ Recovery time varies, but with consistent therapy, many patients achieve functional walking ability.
⦿ Regular follow-ups with the healthcare team are essential to monitor progress.
