"The situation isn't good. This section of the colon, about thirty centimeters, will have to be removed," Liu Banxia said after reviewing the colonoscopy results.
"The key is what happens next," Wang Chao added.
"Initially, I thought we could just remove this segment of the intestine and, once the gut flora stabilized, it could be restored. But it seems quite difficult now. The patient might have to use an ostomy bag permanently."
"Adjusting the gut flora takes time, and given the patient's current condition, achieving a full recovery is genuinely challenging. If we're not careful, this situation could become very dangerous."
Liu Banxia frowned; this was the outcome he least wanted to see, yet it was now the reality.
"Regardless, the intestine is already showing signs of necrosis. The first step is to resect this segment and create an ostomy," Liu Banxia stated after some consideration.
