癌症術後水腫變「大象腿」 微創淋巴管靜脈吻合術改善效果好

2022-07-15   記者莊兆暉/台南報導

南市一名年近6旬的女性因右手腫脹合併疼痛日益加劇,前往奇美醫學中心診治,一般及消化系外科主治醫師陳漢坤替她檢查後發現,竟是右乳癌合併腋下淋巴轉移引發右手臂淋巴水腫,在第1階段乳癌治療後,接著進行淋巴靜脈吻合術,目前淋巴水腫情況已大幅改善,也接受癌症後續階段治療中。

陳漢坤指出,癌症手術為了防止癌細胞經由淋巴系統擴散,術中會切除惡性腫瘤附近的淋巴結,包括乳癌、婦科癌症、黑色素瘤、惡性肉瘤、攝護腺癌及頭頸部癌等癌症手術,會因此引起淋巴水腫(Lymphedema)的後遺症,若癌症引發淋巴轉移嚴重影響系統原先功能,部分病人也會出現淋巴水腫問題。

陳漢坤說,淋巴水腫最初症狀不明顯,可能只有無法形容的疼痛、麻木或是腫脹感,最快術後2至3個月即會發作,平均發作時間約為2到5年,若進展到中期時,患側的肢體會更腫,且不容易消腫,一旦進入中後期,患側會比另一邊明顯粗一圈,且關節處變腫和皮膚角質化使得行動不靈活,淋巴水腫處容易造成感染併發蜂窩性組織炎,如果沒有得到妥善的治療,到淋巴水腫晚期患肢嚴重變形,就是俗稱的「大象腿」。

目前淋巴水腫的治療,早期以整合式物理治療達到復健效果,若已是淋巴水腫中期,就需要進行手術,目前主要手術方式有淋巴腺自體移植手術、抽脂手術及淋巴管靜脈昒合術等3種。

陳漢坤說,淋巴管靜脈吻合術在國外已相當普及,是利用原本的淋巴管路,將淋巴系統回收水分的路徑導回到心臟的微小靜脈,恢復回收肢體組織液的功能,屬微創手術,可全身或局部麻醉、僅需要數個1至2公分不等的小傷口,術後併發症少,適合在淋巴水腫各時期執行。

陳漢坤說,手術效果越早期介入效果越顯著,可以多階段多次手術,也可以搭配淋巴腺自體移植手術或抽脂手術,加強消腫效果,已有淋巴水腫問題的病人,可以根據自身情形選擇治療方式,但在淋巴水腫手術後,仍須配合物理治療做後續保養,才能保有最佳的生活品質。

The two main ways to get to your Google Contacts is to visit contacts.google while logged into your Google account, or click the familiar nine-dot menu present across Google websites and select “Contacts.” You will find all your Gmail contacts in Google Contacts and all your Google Contacts will be backed up on the linked Google account. In many cases, you will find contacts getting deleted due to incorrect sync. You just downloaded the newest, shiniest contacts management app to your smartphone, linked it to your G Suite account to sync with your Gmail Contacts, and now you’re waiting for your mobile address book to fill with everyone you’ve ever known. Step 1. Make sure that you’re logged into Gmail and head to the top right-hand corner of your screen. Click the Google Apps button – that’s the one that contains nine little dots.

    Getting access to this format is as easy as downloading a Google Contact “template” CSV file. Then all you need do is copy paste your data into the correct columns and upload the updated CSV back into Google Contacts. Now, open the Contacts app or the Phone app and go to the Contacts section. Stay here for a couple of minutes with your iPhone connected to Wi-Fi or stable cellular data. Soon, all your contacts from your Google account will appear on your iPhone. If you want to manually import contacts to a new phone, all you need to do is navigate to Google Drive and download the .vcf file onto your new phone. Save the file in the Downloads folder. Once that’s done, here’s how to import it into Contacts. The final step of the import process is optional. It adds automation rules that perform actions on your new records as you import them. This is helpful if you want to add a tag to your new contacts or add them to automation as soon as they’re imported. You can add as many automation rules as you’d like.
