Gritman Team Helps Moscow Man Recover from Cancer Treatment
Gritman General Surgeons and Wound Healing Center Help Heal Stubborn Surgical Wound
When health care is challenging, it can take a team to get back on track. Moscow resident Dennis Dionne found his recovery team at Gritman Medical Center. Dionne was facing a rough recuperation from cancer treatment after extensive surgery and radiation treatment on his lower pelvic region. While radiation can be an effective cancer-fighting technique, it has the tendency to reduce the body’s capacity to heal. Dionne faced continuous bleeding and festering at one of his surgical sites, and a Gritman team including Dr. Brian Newell of Gritman General Surgeons and Gastroenterology and Dr. John Brown III of the Gritman Wound Healing Center cooperated to drastically improve his health.

A person with a hernia often feels pain, pressure, or burning or feels like something has given way.
There are several types of hernias:
A femoral hernia appears as a bulge on the top of the thigh.
A hiatal hernia is a part of the stomach bulging up through the diaphragm (the wall of muscle that separates the abdominal cavity from the chest cavity).
An incisional hernia occurs after surgery to the wall of the abdomen.
An inguinal hernia occurs when a small portion of the bowel or other tissue bulges into the groin.
An umbilical hernia appears in the belly button. A periumbilical hernia is similar to an umbilical hernia, but it occurs next to the belly button.
A person with a hernia often feels pain, pressure, or burning or feels like something has given way.
