What is the risk of weight loss surgery?
Policeman Zhang is a traffic policeman from other places. His height is1.87m and his weight reaches160kg. Being too fat has seriously affected the work of fast-paced traffic police. So he was very upset and decided to come to Nanjing for weight loss surgery. Not long ago, he came to a hospital near Zhongfu Road in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and removed part of his stomach and small intestine, hoping to lose weight. However, what everyone didn't expect was that the accident happened and the fat traffic police unfortunately died on the slimming operating table.

Fat traffic police are afraid of affecting their work. Nanjing lose weight

Ms. Ma is the wife of police officer Zhang. When she mentioned her husband Zhang's misfortune, she had already wept. They told reporters that her husband Zhang, 38, weighs 160 kg, which makes him feel very hard at work because of his excellent gastrointestinal absorption and other reasons. Under the introduction of acquaintances, in late July, accompanied by Ms. Ma and her relatives, he went to a hospital on Zhongfu Road in Nanjing for weight loss surgery. "Because of his excellent absorption function, the doctor suggested cutting off a part of his stomach first, and then cutting off a part of his small intestine, so that he would eat less and absorb less, so that he would absorb less in the future, his stomach would be smaller, and there would be fewer opportunities to gain weight in the future." Ms. Ma said.

Zhang's relatives also told reporters that although Zhang is obese, he has no other physical problems. Just because he was too heavy and fat, which affected his work, he made up his mind to lose weight by cutting his stomach. "The nature of his work is different from others. In particular, he has to work at night and check the car. Can't move easily. For the convenience of work, he wants to lose weight. " Zhang Wenzhong's sister Zhang Nvtu said.

Pushed into the operating room and never came out alive.

Judging from the video taken by relatives' mobile phones, on the morning of July 26, Zhang was in good mental state after various preoperative examinations. He also took a selfie with a selfie stick, and finally fixed his obese self after losing weight as a souvenir. At 1 1 after the operation, he walked into the operating room. At about 5 pm, shortly after the operation, Zhang was pushed into the ward and his family found something unusual. "After he left the operating room, the first thing he did was to measure his blood pressure, which was very low, only about 33 to 67. Soon after, he found that his abdomen was abnormally swollen and the pain was unbearable, so the doctor did a B-ultrasound for him in the ward, and the B-ultrasound in the ward shouted pain. " Zhang's wife, Ms. Ma, told the reporter that due to various abnormal situations, the doctor pushed him into the operating room at 1 1. However, when he left, he never came out alive. According to this death record issued by a hospital in Nanjing, the causes of death were hemorrhagic shock and multiple organ failure.

The family thought it was caused by an accident during the operation.

Zhang's family said that Zhang is the pillar of the family, with an 80-year-old mother and two young children. Now they have been afraid to tell their old mother that Zhang has passed away. And they also think that Zhang Zhongjian came to the hospital for weight-loss surgery, and all the preoperative examination indexes were normal, but why did the operation have an accident?

After Zhang's accidental death, his family thought it was caused by an accident during the operation. "I read the results on this death record. During the operation, they detected a large amount of hematocele in the abdomen of the deceased, with a volume of 7600 ml, equivalent to 15 wine bottles. Can a normal person survive so much blood? " Zhang' s relatives said.

In this death record, the description of the cause of death is as follows: after removing the hematocele, carefully explore the abdominal cavity and see active bleeding near the upper pole of the spleen. After ligation and hemostasis, a drainage tube was placed next to the gastric margin ... After closing the abdomen, the patient's heart stopped at 45 degrees, and there was no obvious effect after rescue measures such as cardiac defibrillation. By 4: 06, the patient still had no spontaneous heart rate, no pulse and no breathing.

The hospital said that the cause of death will not be known until the autopsy.

For such a conclusion, the deceased's brother-in-law got through the phone of Director Wang who participated in the handling of medical disputes in a hospital in Nanjing. Director Wang said, "The cause of his death has gone to an autopsy, and everything will not be known until the autopsy results come out." Zhang's relatives questioned that Zhang had done various examinations before operation, and the results showed that he met the surgical conditions. However, it turned out that he was pushed into the operating room shortly after the operation and never came out again.

Regarding this medical dispute, some lawyers said that no one wants to see Zhang's accident, but since it happened, the parties should adopt a rational attitude and must not make illegal and excessive behaviors and deal with it rationally.

Is weight loss surgery risky?

1, liposuction. Under anesthesia, select the part where fat needs to be removed, and suck out the body fat through negative pressure suction.

2, gastrointestinal weight loss surgery. At present, the most popular methods are "minimally invasive gastroplasty" and "minimally invasive gastric shunt" Most European countries choose the former. By reducing the size and food intake of the stomach, the weight loss rate can reach 40%-72%. The latter is popular in America, 1/6 stomach is used to hold food, and most of the rest stomach, duodenum and jejunum about 1.5-2 meters are idle, so the food intake is greatly reduced, and the weight loss rate is about 20% higher than that of gastroplasty.

3, large intestine hydrotherapy. Pour 2-8 liters of water into the human body, which can help defecation and digestion, and at the same time have the effect of slimming. The number of accidents is staggering. Speaking of surgery, it is definitely risky, but the following figures are still amazing.

In liposuction, the most common complications are local skin infection, skin flap necrosis in the operation area, numbness and abnormal sensation in the operation area, uneven operation area and serious asymmetry of liposuction site. A woman in Britain lost half her weight during stomach reduction surgery this year and died of a large number of protein. In large intestine hydrotherapy, someone once had his colon broken by water, and his stool entered the abdominal cavity, causing pelvic and intestinal inflammation, so he had to live by artificial anus. David Flum, a surgeon at the University of Washington in the United States, said: "For those who are considering this operation, this is a series of black number warnings."
