Whether children should be dilated after appendicitis surgery needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. If children can have normal bowel movements and defecation after surgery, they do not need to be dilated, but if they can’t, they need to be.
1. No need: children appendicitis after surgery, if the recovery situation is good, gas and defecation normal, bowel movement back to normal, do not need to dilate the treatment.
2. Need: if children after appendicitis surgery, can not normal gas and defecation, then you need to consult a doctor in time, after a professional doctor examined the existence of anal stenosis, due to the need for anal dilatation treatment, so as to promote intestinal gas and excreta discharge, to achieve the therapeutic purpose.
It should be noted that the child’s inability to pass gas and feces is not caused by the intestinal obstruction after appendicitis surgery, which requires a clear differential diagnosis by the doctor to avoid misdiagnosis.
It is recommended to choose whether or not anal dilatation is needed according to the child’s specific postoperative condition after the diagnosis is clarified, and at the same time, pay attention to postoperative precautions, and consult a doctor in a timely manner if symptoms of discomfort occur.
