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
- General anesthesia has little impact on a newborn’s brain, and the surgery is performed under strict monitoring.
- The timing of a second operation depends on the patient’s recovery and physical condition.
- 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.
