Patient's question:
Newborn just 20 days old with congenital intestinal reversal of 90 degrees can undergo surgery. Is the surgical risk high? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The hospital is still under observation. What kind of help is desired: Just want to ask if surgery can be performed in this case, and is the surgical risk high?Doctor's answer:
Generally, mechanical intestinal obstruction without causing strangulated brain edema or purulent complications does not require surgery. Anorectal inflation treatment can clear the intestines. However, if there is brain edema or purulent complications, surgical treatment is recommended, as ventilation treatment may easily lead to intestinal rupture and acute abdomen. If the surgical treatment is effective, it usually does not significantly interfere with the child's future growth and development or self-sufficiency in life. It is recommended that parents maintain a positive and proactive attitude towards treatment, strive to start as early as possible, and prevent complications from developing due to prolonged delays. I hope this is helpful to you.
