Sequelae of syringomyelia surgery in children may include testicular injury, incision infection, scrotal hematoma, and so on.
1. Testicular injury: the main content of the surgery for syringomyelia includes sheath excision and high ligation of the sheath to prevent the fluid from the abdominal cavity from re-entering the scrotal sheath. However, the blood vessels of the testicles may be damaged during the operation, resulting in insufficient blood supply and necrosis of the testicles.
2. Infection of incision: If the wound is not recovered well and infected with pathogenic bacteria after the operation of syringomyelia, it may not be conducive to the healing of the incision and lead to serious infection.
3. Scrotal hematoma: If the ligation of small blood vessels is not in place during the syringomyelia surgery and the bleeding is not stopped thoroughly, a scrotal hematoma may occur after the surgery.
Although the sequelae of syringomyelia surgery may occur, but the current medical technology is more mature, the above sequelae are less likely to occur. It is recommended to have a specialist to evaluate or determine the specific susceptibility to after-effects.
