Patient Information:

Where He Lives

Manisa

Reason for Application

Rectal bleeding, anemia, weakness, weight loss, abdominal pain and constipation

Initiation of Complaints and Initial Application

The patient, who lives in Manisa, had been experiencing rectal bleeding, anemia, fatigue, weight loss, abdominal pain and constipation for some time. As these complaints increased, the patient applied to a gastroenterologist in Manisa upon the recommendation of his uncle. As a result of the examination and evaluations, the doctor recommended a detailed examination with a colonoscopy.

Diagnosis and Initial Examinations

During the colonoscopy, a biopsy was taken from the patient and the pathological examination revealed that the patient had Rectum Cancer (Rectum Ca). Upon this, the doctor referred the patient to a PET-CT scan for further examination and treatment planning. According to the PET-CT results, no distant organ metastasis was detected and it was determined that there was no other cancer focus outside the rectum.

Searching for a Reliable Center

Having previously suffered from pulmonary embolism and heart disease, the patient began looking for a reliable healthcare center due to such serious illnesses. Since these past health problems increased the risks that could be encountered during and after the surgery, he was very meticulous about the center where he would be treated.

Treatment and Surgery Process

Our patient contacted us and applied to our center after the necessary research. After detailed evaluations, it was decided that the patient would undergo Low Anterior Resection surgery. This surgical procedure was performed to remove a portion of the rectum and surrounding cancerous tissue. The surgery was completed successfully and the patient was discharged on the 5th day.

Post-Operative and Follow-up Process

The postoperative process was quite positive. On the 10th day after being discharged, the patient came to our clinic for a check-up, driving his car alone.

This shows how successful the patient's recovery process was and how quickly he returned to his daily life. The general condition of the patient was good in the postoperative period and no complications or additional treatment was required.

This case once again reveals the importance of early diagnosis and timely intervention.

Meticulous planning and surgical intervention, taking into account the patient's past health problems such as pulmonary embolism and heart disease, allowed the patient to regain his health in a short time.
