Patient's question:
The child fell from the rooftop of a two-story building, resulting in fractures of the fifth, sixth, and seventh thoracic vertebrae. Six vertebrae are pressing on the nerves, causing a loss of sensation in the lower body and inability to independently control urination and defecation. The surgery was just performed two days ago. What should be done in this situation? Can they fully recover in the future?Doctor's answer:
