Question

After neonatal large intestine surgery, parents are concerned about whether the surgery will affect their child’s brain, the timing of a second operation, and the long-term effects after the surgery.

Answer

  1. General anesthesia has little impact on a newborn’s brain, and the surgery is performed under strict monitoring.
  2. The timing of a second operation depends on the patient’s recovery and physical condition.
  3. Current medical advancements have significantly improved the efficacy of neonatal large intestine surgery, but whether the child can live like a normal person after surgery still depends on the severity of the disease and whether there are subsequent complications.
