Bakit ito ang inirekomendang operasyon

Ang pahinang ito ay nagpapakita kung paano pinamamahalaan ni Dr. Kieran Hirpara, isang manggagamot sa itaas na bahagi ng katawan sa Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton, ang kondisyong ito sa aming klinika. Dumating kami sa mga pasyente sa pamamagitan ng referral mula sa GP o physiotherapist. Isang pagsusuri sa klinika ang nagtatakda ng iyong diagnosis. Para sa matagal nang pagkasira dahil sa paggamit, karaniwan naming sinisimulan ang hindi operatibong paggamot. Kasama rito ang pagbabago sa aktibidad, terapiya sa kamay, paggamit ng splint, at mga injeksyon. Pinag-aaralan namin ang operasyon kapag hindi sapat ang pagpapabuti mula sa mga ito.

Ang proximal row carpectomy ay isang operasyon sa pulso kung saan tinatanggal ng iyong manggagamot ang tatlong maliit na buto sa itaas na hanay ng iyong pulso. Binubuo nito ang bagong kasukasuan sa pagitan ng natitirang malaking buto at ng iyong buto sa braso. Inaalam namin ang operasyong ito sa mga pasyenteng may partikular na pinsala, tulad ng Kienböck’s disease o advanced arthritis, kung saan kinakailangan ang mga pagpipilian na nagpapanatili ng galaw. Ito ay isang maaasahang paraan upang bawasan ang sakit habang pinapanatili ang paggalaw ng iyong pulso. Ang ebidensya ay nagpapakita na nagbibigay ito ng matibay na pagbawas ng sakit at pag-andar sa loob ng hanggang 10 taon. Tatalakayin ng iyong manggagamot kung ang pagpapatupad nang pagtutulungan ay angkop sa iyong partikular na kondisyon sa pulso.

Bago ang operasyon

I-aayos ng iyong doktor ang mga X-ray, MRI scan, o pagsusuri ng dugo upang suriin ang iyong pulso at pangkalahatang kalusugan bago ang operasyon. Kailangan mong mag-fast o magtiis ng gutom sa loob ng anim na oras bago ang iyong pagkakalagay sa prosedura. Itigil ang pag-inom ng mga gamot na nagpapapayat ng dugo lamang pagkatapos na bigyan ka ng iyong doktor ng tiyak na mga tagubilin. Dalhin ang isang listahan ng lahat ng kasalukuyang gamot sa iyong pagpupunta. Magsuot ng komportableng, maluwag na damit sa iyong bisita. Kailangan mo ng isang taong magmamaneho sa iyo pauwi pagkatapos na mawala ang epekto ng anestesia. Tatalakayin namin ang mga hakbang na ito sa iyo upang matiyak na handa ka.

Sa araw ng operasyon

Dadating ka sa ospital sa iyong itinakdang oras. Gabay ka ng aming koponan papunta sa silid-paghahanda. Makikita mo ang iyong anestesiyista upang suriin ang iyong kasaysayan sa kalusugan at sagutin ang anumang katanungan mo tungkol sa operasyon. Ang operasyong ito ay ginagawa sa ilalim ng pangkalahatang anestesya. Minsan ay idinadagdag ang regional nerve block para sa pagpapagaan ng sakit pagkatapos ng operasyon — usapin ito ng anestesiyista sa iyo sa araw ng operasyon.

Kapag handa ka na, dadalhin ka sa operating theatre. Matutulog ka bago magsimula ang anumang proseso. Kapag gumising ka, nasa recovery area ka na. Babantayan ng aming mga nars ang iyong kaginhawaan at mga vital signs nang maigi. Mananatili ka doon hanggang sa maging ganap na alerto at stable ka. Bisitahin ka ng iyong surgeon upang ibahagi ang mga paunang update. Maaaring maramdaman mong magulo ang isip o may sakit ang lalamunan dahil sa breathing tube. Normal ito. Bibigyan ka ng malinaw na mga tagubilin para sa susunod na hakbang bago ka umalis.

Ang kinabibilangan ng operasyon

Alisin ng iyong doktor ang tatlong maliliit na buto sa itaas na hanay ng iyong joint ng pulso. Ang prosedurang ito ay tinatawag na proximal row carpectomy. Sa pamamagitan ng pag-aalis ng mga butong ito, nililikha ng iyong doktor ang isang bagong, mas makinis na ibabaw ng joint sa pagitan ng natitirang mga buto ng pulso at ng iyong buto ng forearms. Tumutulong ito upang bawasan ang sakit habang pinapanatili ang flexibility ng iyong pulso.

Maaaring gawin ang operasyon sa dalawang paraan. Maaaring gumawa ang iyong doktor ng isang hiwa sa palad ng iyong pulso. Pinapayagan ng pamamaraang ito ang maagang paggalaw at mas mahusay na pagbawi ng galaw. Sa kabilang banda, maaaring gumamit ang iyong doktor ng keyhole surgery. Kasama nito ang mga maliit na hiwa at espesyal na mga kamera. Pinapayagan ng pamamaraang ito ang mabilis na mobilisasyon ng pulso kumpara sa bukas na operasyon.

Pagkatapos alisin ang mga buto, isasara ng iyong doktor ang hiwa gamit ang mga tahi o pandikit. Magkakaroon ka ng dressing sa lugar na iyon. Hindi mo kailangang mag-suot ng cast o splint pagkatapos ng operasyon. Gabayin ka ng iyong doktor kung paano magsimulang gumalaw ng iyong pulso sa loob ng maikling panahon pagkatapos ng surgery. Tumutulong ito upang mabilis mong mabawi ang lakas at range of motion.

Pagkatapos ng operasyon

Gising ka sa recovery ward. Pamamahalaan namin ang iyong sakit gamit ang karaniwang gamot. Ang iyong pulso ay may dressing at sling. Hindi kami gumagamit ng matigas na cast, kaya maaari ka nang magsimula ng banayad na paggalaw sa maagang yugto. Karamihan sa mga pasyente ay nananatili ng isang gabi sa ospital pagkatapos ng operasyong ito, bagaman may ilang makakapagpunta sa bahay sa parehong araw. Mangyaring mag-ayos ng taong mananatili sa iyo sa loob ng unang 24 na oras upang tumulong sa mga pangunahing gawain. Panatilihing itaas ang iyong braso upang bawasan ang pamamaga. Gabayan ka namin sa mga ligtas na ehersisyo upang protektahan ang iyong pulso habang ito ay nagpapagaling.

Pagbawi

Mababangkarne at mapigil ang iyong pulso agad pagkatapos ng operasyon. Ito ay normal. Maaaring imungkahi ng iyong doktor na itaas ang iyong kamay upang mabawasan ang pamamaga. Hindi mo kailangan ng cast o matibay na immobilization pagkatapos ng prosedurang ito. Pinapayagan nito kang magsimula agad ng paggalaw ng iyong pulso, na tumutulong sa mabilis mong pagbawi ng galaw.

Kamag-anak kami kay Ruby Doolan sa Extend Rehabilitation para sa iyong hand therapy. Gabay niya ka sa mga banayad na ehersisyo upang maibalik ang galaw at lakas. Sisimulan mo ang mga gawaing ito sa sandaling payagan ka ng iyong doktor. Ang maagang paggalaw ay susi upang maibalik ang iyong pulso sa tamang landas.

Sa bahay, gagamitin mo ang iyong braso para sa magaan na mga gawain ayon sa kung paano ka kumportable. Iwasan ang mabibigat na pagbuhat o malakas na pagkapit hanggang sa bumalik ang lakas ng iyong hawak. Matulog habang itinataas ang iyong kamay sa mga unan upang mabawasan ang pananakit. Maaaring makaramdam ka ng kaunting sakit kapag unang subukan mong yumuko o tuwidin ang iyong pulso. Karaniwang mawawala ito habang gumagaling ang iyong mga tisyu at umuunlad ang paggalaw.

Maaaring magkaiba ang iyong timeline sa iba. Aayusin ng iyong doktor at pisyoterapeuta ang iyong plano base sa kung paano mo nararamdaman. Alam mo na nag-uunlad ka kapag nagiging mas madali ang mga pang-araw-araw na gawain at bumababa ang sakit. Kapag payagan ka ng iyong doktor na magmaneho, maaari ka nang bumalik sa daan. Pakiusap, suriin ang aming gabay tungkol sa pagmamaneho pagkatapos ng upper-limb surgery para sa mga partikular na patakaran sa kaligtasan.

Maaaring mangyari

Karamihan sa mga pasyente ay magaling, ngunit minsan ay maaaring magkaroon ng mga problema. Ang iyong surgeon at ang team ay mahigpit na nagmamasid sa iyo upang maagang makita ang anumang isyu.

Maaaring mapansin mo na ang iyong pulso ay tila matigas at mas mahina kaysa dati. Karaniwan ito kapag ang proseduro ay ginawa para sa isang napunit na ligament sa pagitan ng dalawang maliit na buto sa pulso. Nagbabago ang istruktura ng kasukasuan, na maaaring gawing mas hindi flexible ang pulso.

Minsan, maaaring lumipat o mag-collapse ang mga buto sa gitna ng iyong pulso sa paglipas ng panahon. Maaari itong mangyari kahit hindi mo nararamdaman ang sakit. Maaaring hindi mo mapansin ang pagbabagong ito hanggang sa isang mas huling check-up. Pinagmamasdan namin ito sa mga bisita sa recovery upang matiyak na nananatiling stable ang iyong pulso.

Maaaring maranasan mo ang patuloy na sakit sa gilid ng iyong pulso malapit sa maliit na daliri. Maaari itong sanhi ng isang maliit na buto sa iyong pulso na pumipindot sa ibang mga istruktura. Kung nararamdaman mo ang malalim na sakit o matulis na sakit sa lugar na ito na hindi nawawala, ipaalam sa amin. Maaari naming suriin kung ang butong ito ang nagdudulot ng iritasyon.

Maaaring magkaiba ang pakiramdam ng iyong pulso kapag naglalagay ka ng bigat dito. Ang pag-alis ng bahagi ng buto sa pulso ay nagbabago ng paraan kung paano gumagalaw ang puwersa sa iyong kamay. Maaari itong maglagay ng karagdagang stress sa natitirang mga kasukasuan. Maaaring maranasan mo ang pakiramdam ng kawalan ng katatagan o discomfort kapag tumatayo mula sa upuan o nagtatayo ng mabigat na bagay.

May panganib na hindi mabawi ng iyong pulso ang buong lakas o saklaw ng galaw kumpara sa ibang mga surgical na opsyon. Halimbawa, may mga pasyente na nakikita na limitado ang lakas ng hawak o kakayahang gumalaw ng pulso sa kaliwa at kanan kumpara sa kung ano ito bago ang operasyon. Maaari mo ring mapansin na hindi ganap na yumuyuko o yumuwi ang iyong pulso kumpara sa iyong ibang kamay.

Kung mapansin mo ang biglaang pamamaga, pamumula, o matinding sakit na hindi nawawala sa pamamagitan ng pahinga, agad na kontakin ang klinika. Para sa patuloy na katatagan o sakit, itaas ito sa iyong susunod na review. Maaari naming i-adjust ang iyong therapy o masusuri pa nang higit pa.

Ang talahanayan ng mga komplikasyon sa pahinang ito ay naglalaman ng karaniwang mga rate kung gusto mo ng mga detalye.

Kailan tawagan ang amin

Tawagan kami kung may lagnat, lumalalang pamumula o paglabas ng likido sa sugat, o biglaang matinding sakit. Pumunta sa emergency kung mapansin mong may pamamaga sa binti, hirap sa paghinga, pagkawala ng pakiramdam, o hindi mo na makagalaw ang iyong kamay. Gusto naming ma-early na ma-detect ang anumang komplikasyon. Ang iyong paggaling ang ating pinaka-prioridad. Huwag nang maghintay kung lumabas ang mga sintomas na ito. Agad na kontakin ang aming klinika para sa payo.
