After strabismus surgery in children, there are risks of anesthesia accidents, abnormal eye position, perforation of the eyeball, poor conjunctival wound healing, conjunctival scarring, postoperative infections, and so on.
1. Anesthesia accident: Strabismus surgery for children is usually performed under general anesthesia, children are physically weak, so anesthesia accidents may occur during general anesthesia, which may lead to respiratory difficulties, cardiac arrest and other problems.
2. Abnormal eye position: Strabismus surgery in children may cause abnormal eye position, which may lead to over-correction or under-correction, and may need to be adjusted through multiple surgeries.
3. Eye perforation: If the procedure is not performed properly, there is a risk of eye perforation and limited eye movement when performing eye wall stitches.
4. Poor conjunctival wound healing: After strabismus surgery in children, there is a risk of poor conjunctival wound healing, which can lead to conjunctival granulation or conjunctival cysts.
5. Conjunctival scarring: After strabismus surgery in children, there is a risk of conjunctival scarring, which affects facial aesthetics.
6. Postoperative infection: After strabismus surgery, if children do not have proper postoperative care, there is a risk of infection, which may cause inflammation, redness and swelling of the wound, affecting wound healing.
Before children undergo strabismus surgery, they should go to regular hospitals for a good preoperative examination and actively communicate with doctors to clarify the risks of surgery before proceeding with surgical treatment.
