Question
The baby has poor sleep quality since birth and occasionally cries loudly. Is surgery for a room septal defect a major operation?
Answer
Room septal defect surgery can be performed through conventional surgery or implantation surgery. Conventional surgery requires the establishment of extracorporeal circulation, the heart needs to be stopped, and there are certain risks involved, including systemic inflammatory response, microembolism formation, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. It is recommended to receive treatment at a regular hospital as soon as possible.
