Patient's question:
I really want to figure out: If a newborn suffers from necrotizing enterocolitis, will they definitely have sequelae after surgery? Will it have a significant impact on the baby's future growth? Generally speaking, what is the success rate of surgery for neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, neonatal intestinal obstruction is a relatively serious disease. If it is not treated promptly, it can lead to severe consequences, such as intestinal bleeding, intestinal necrosis, and even shock or death. Intestinal obstruction should be immediately fasting and treated effectively. Treatment can be divided into surgical and non-surgical treatment, and should be selected based on the specific condition of the patient. Surgery may be necessary if needed, but it may lead to postoperative complications such as postoperative infection and intestinal adhesion. However, in critical conditions, surgery should not be avoided due to the possibility of potential complications.
