Xinglin Professional Technology - Urology Department | Integrating Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Bringing Hope to Elderly Bladder Cancer Patients
"Thank you so much, Director Yu! I had given up hope before, but now I'm so glad to see how well I'm recovering!" Recently, in the urology ward of our hospital, Mr. Zhang, an 81-year-old man, tightly held Director Yu Jianyong's hand, expressing his excitement in words. Who would have thought that Mr. Zhang, who suffered from multiple underlying diseases, had once been in a dilemma between the urgent need for surgery and the unfeasibility of his physical condition. However, after systematic combined treatment of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, our hospital successfully built a bridge for Mr. Zhang to reach the operating table, and eventually he successfully overcame the difficulty and regained his health. A few months ago, Mr. Zhang underwent a cystoscopy at a local hospital, and the biopsy results showed high-grade urothelial carcinoma. The doctor recommended surgery. But because Mr. Zhang had various underlying diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, anemia, and poor kidney function, and all the indicators did not meet the requirements for surgery, he needed to undergo conditioning first and then consider surgical treatment when his physical condition improved. His family then took him to a provincial hospital, hoping to receive treatment there. The doctor suggested a one-cycle radiotherapy followed by a bladderscopy复查. Mr. Zhang accepted the radiotherapy with a glimmer of hope, but the复查 results brought a cruel reality: he still needed surgery. And the previous insurmountable obstacle - his weak physical condition - still stood in the way. For a moment, Mr. Zhang and his family were in a dilemma.

At this time, Mr. Zhang's condition was deteriorating rapidly, and the family was extremely worried but powerless. Through an introduction, he came to the Fourth Department of Oncology for treatment. At that time, his hemoglobin dropped to 61g/L, and he was at risk of shock at any moment, the situation was extremely critical! Facing such an elderly patient with severe underlying diseases and urgent need for improvement in physical condition, Department Director Meng Peng of Oncology attached great importance to it and immediately invited Director Yu Jianyong of Urology for consultation. After a comprehensive assessment of the patient's condition, the two directors unanimously believed that it was necessary to quickly improve the patient's physical condition through systematic preoperative conditioning to create conditions for the surgery. After discussing with his family, Mr. Zhang received conditioning in the Fourth Department of Oncology. The复查 found that his physical condition had improved significantly and was even faster than expected! So Mr. Zhang was transferred to the Urology Department, and after a cystoscopy and full abdominal enhanced CT + CTU examination, it was found that the tumor volume was not large, which increased everyone's confidence. After a thorough assessment of the surgical risks and the formulation of a detailed plan, Director Yu果断performed "Transurethral Electrosurgical Resection of Bladder Tumor" for Mr. Zhang. On the operating table, not only the technique was tested, but also courage and responsibility. With his superb minimally invasive technique, the entire operation lasted only half an hour, with only 10 milliliters of bleeding, and the tumor was completely removed without causing bladder perforation or other sequelae, greatly reducing the trauma to the elderly patient's body. The surgery was very successful.
However, a successful surgery is only the first step of recovery. Considering the patient's advanced age and weak physical condition, the Urology Department specially formulated a combined Chinese and Western medicine postoperative rehabilitation plan. On top of arranging a bladder irrigation once a week for Mr. Zhang, they also prescribed "Postoperative Supplementing Formula" for him to benefit qi and blood and promote his recovery. "Through our combined Chinese and Western medicine postoperative care, the patient is recovering well and has not experienced hematuria again," Director Yu said. When Mr. Zhang got rid of the tumor problem and was able to enjoy his retirement life, every bit of responsibility and effort we had put in demonstrated profound value. The success of this medical case is not only a vivid illustration of our hospital's courage to tackle difficult and complex diseases, but also highlights the unique advantages of our hospital's combined Chinese and Western medicine treatment in tumor rehabilitation. The hospital adheres to the belief of "Trustworthy by the people, Excellent reputation" and pursues the development concept of "Strengthening Traditional Chinese Medicine, Enhancing Western Medicine, and Combining Chinese and Western Medicine". It always prioritizes the life and health of patients, using rigorous assessment, superb techniques, and the courage to take responsibility to pave a path full of hope and warmth for every patient we trust.
