Patient's question:
My doll was diagnosed with congenital megacolon three days after birth. After being examined at a hospital, surgery was performed on the fifth day. Starting from the second day after the surgery, the abdomen became swollen and hardened. The doctors at the hospital kept telling us to wait and see. Could you please tell me if the baby can be held after the colostomy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is best not to hug. Fecal diversion surgery is used to remove internal tumors or improve respiratory function caused by existing diseases. If the existing disease can return to normal respiratory function or basically achieve normal respiratory function without worsening the condition, the tube can be removed. It is often used for temporary decompression, and treatment surgery can be performed after the condition improves. It will not affect the baby's growth and development.
