Laryngeal Cancer. The larynx (voice box) is located at the top of the trachea (windpipe). The larynx contains the vocal cords. Vocal cords vibrate and allow us talk and sing. The opening to the larynx is covered by a large muscular flap called the epiglottis.

Adjuvant therapy is used after surgery: 1  If some cancer cells might still remain in the body. 2  If the tumor was difficult to remove completely. 3  When the tumor has penetrated the wall of the larynx.  If the pathologist finds cancer cells in the lymph nodes.

The incision through which the surgeon performs the. operation is one area of potential weakness where a. hernia may occur. Also, during stoma construction, the surgeon makes another opening separate from. the main wound to allow bowel to pass through the. abdominal wall and be sutured to the skin.

A transverse colostomy is performed on the middle section of the colon, and the stoma will be somewhere across the upper abdomen. This type of surgery--often temporary--is typically performed for diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, blockage, injury or a birth defect. In a transverse colostomy, the stool leaves the colon through the stoma before reaching the descending colon. Your stoma may have one or two openings.

Some diseases, such as cancer, require the surgical removal of diseased portions of bowel. The bowel may have to be rerouted through an artificially created hole (stoma) in the abdomen so that faeces can still leave the body. A colostomy is an operation that connects the colon to the abdominal wall, while an ileostomy connects the last part of the small intestine (ileum) to the abdominal wall.

The organ could be the small intestine, colon, rectum, or bladder. With an ostomy, there must be a new way for wastes to leave the body. There are many different types of ostomy. Some examples are. Ileostomy - the bottom of the small intestine (ileum) is attached to the stoma. This bypasses the colon, rectum and anus.

The development of a hernia is a relatively common. problem following ostomy surgery. Hernias may occur in a surgical wound (called. incisional hernias) and/or around a stoma (called. parastomal hernias) and this booklet describes how to. recognize, prevent and manage them without surgery. A hernia presents as a bulge and results from the. abnormal protrusion of an organ or part of an organ.
