Recovery time after pediatric syringomyelia

The recovery time after pediatric syringomyelia surgery is about 1 week, at which time the wound can basically return to its normal state, and the sutures can be removed, and the child can walk normally, but cannot perform physical activities, such as running, jumping or prolonged crying or abdominal exertion. About 2 weeks after surgery, the child can perform light physical work, such as running or jumping, but not too long and too violent abdominal prolonged exertion. After 4 weeks after surgery, the patient can return to normal and any activity will not be affected. There will be no residual effects after the surgery, but there may be mild scrotal swelling or wound pain before the surgery is fully recovered, which may return to normal after 1 month. After pediatric syringomyelia surgery, there is no need for prolonged infusion of fluids. One infusion of antibiotics on the day of surgery is sufficient, and no rehydration is required after surgery. After pediatric syringomyelia surgery, the patient is fully awake from anesthesia, which means that he or she can eat and drink normally 24 hours after surgery without waiting for intestinal ventilation.
