Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs) are a rare and complex spectrum of disease involving a mucinous tumor within the appendix, which can range from benign to malignant. If not limited to the appendix, the mucinous tumor can spread diffusely throughout the peritoneum.
Because of the low incidence of AMN, this study describes the diagnosis and treatment process for this disease, which is not well known to most care providers.
An extensive analysis of the current literature, including incidence, diagnosis, and surgical treatment, was performed. A review of the pre- and postoperative needs for patients undergoing surgery was also conducted.
There is minimal information in the nursing literature about AMN and the complexity of surgical management. Nurses play an important role in caring for these patients and their unique needs both before and after surgery.
阑尾黏液性肿瘤（AMNs）是一种罕见且复杂的疾病谱，涉及阑尾内的黏液性肿瘤，其范围可从良性到恶性。如果黏液性肿瘤不限于阑尾，它可在整个腹膜内弥漫性扩散。
由于AMN发病率较低，本研究描述了这种大多数医疗服务提供者并不熟知的疾病的诊断和治疗过程。
对当前文献进行了广泛分析，包括发病率、诊断和手术治疗。还对接受手术患者术前和术后的需求进行了综述。
护理文献中关于AMN及手术管理复杂性的信息极少。护士在护理这些患者及其手术前后的独特需求方面发挥着重要作用。
