Perioperative nursing of microwave-induced hyperthermia salvage surgery for multiple lesion osteosarcoma patients

Objective To analyze the nursing of limb salvage surgery for multiple lesion osteosarcoma.Methods Gave the psychological care to 15 multiple lesion osteosarcoma patients before or after the surgery of microwave-induced hyperthermia. Give the direction of function exercises after surgery.Results There is no any complication of bedsore, pulmonary infection, venous embolism or joint stiffness after the surgery.Conclusions After the micro-wave induced hyperthermia surgery, correct nursing and functional exercise can decrease the complications, save the limb function to the maximum, increase the life quality and enhance the confidence of defeating the disease.
