Oncological Rehabilitation in the Best Hospitals

If not detected in the advanced stage, most malignant tumors can be successfully treated. Nonetheless, to treat such diseases, doctors often use methods that can worsen the patient's state of health, his ability to work and violate certain functions. The body is damaged not only due to surgery, irradiation with a Gamma Knife or chemotherapy, but also due to the neoplasm itself, especially if it grows into the structures of the central nervous system or vital organs.

Therefore, the patient requires recovery after treatment, especially a surgical one. One can undergo rehabilitation in the German hospitals. The modern medical centers offer the most effective methods and procedures for postoperative patient rehabilitation, rehabilitation after chemotherapy and irradiation of malignancies.

Rehabilitation goals

The rehabilitation procedures at different stages of recovery have different goals. Early postoperative rehabilitation is aimed at relieving the patient's symptoms, speeding up his activation, normal healing of wounds and preventing complications. If in the postoperative period the patient has to lie for a long time, it is important to prevent bedsores and congestion in the lungs.

After the completion of the early phase, further rehabilitation measures can pursue completely different goals, since different patients suffer from different diseases and are treated by means of various methods. Here are the possible directions of the rehabilitation process:

• restoration of the patient’s working capacity;
• acquisition or preservation of the ability to self-service;
• normalization of motor functions;
• restoration or compensation of the functions of internal organs (digestion, reproductive function, urine excretion, etc.);
• improvement of the patient's psycho-emotional state, elimination of depression, his integration into society;
• reduction of symptoms and fight against the consequences of treatment (limb swelling, thrombosis, impaired joint mobility, etc.).

Thus, any oncological rehabilitation program aims to improve the patient’s quality of life after surgery and chemotherapy in case of cancer, as well as make life easier for his relatives who provide care.

Rehabilitation methods

The doctors use a variety of methods and procedures to recover patients. There are used not only medical measures, but also psychotherapeutic, pedagogical ones. Some functions can not be restored, so the patients learn to live in new conditions.

German hospitals provide each patient with high-quality postoperative care. The early phase of rehabilitation can be completed in the same hospital where surgical or other treatment was performed. However, the further recovery should take place in the special rehabilitation centers. Here are some of the procedures and methods used:

• therapeutic exercises;
• kinesitherapy;
• chemotherapy;
• administration of medicines to eliminate persistent symptoms;
• physiotherapy;
• ergotherapy;
• speech therapy;
• psychotherapy;
• lymphatic drainage.

The patients undergo training on the use of orthopedic appliances, care of colostomy or urostomy, use urine and colostomy bag. They also undergo social rehabilitation.
