Most infants who have surgery for intestinal obstruction have no sequelae, but may develop diarrhea, malnutrition, and intestinal adhesions.
If the infant only has surgery to simply release the obstruction, or a small part of the intestinal tube is removed, the normal intestinal function is not affected after surgery, and most of them have no after-effects. However, if more intestinal tubes are resected, or infections occur, there may be sequelae.
1. Diarrhea: after removing most of the intestinal tubes, the food stays in the intestines for a short period of time, and there will be a large amount of water loss and frequent diarrhea.
2. Malnutrition: after removing part of the intestinal tube, the absorption area will be reduced, and the malabsorption of nutrients will affect the growth and development of the child.
3. Intestinal adhesion: after surgery for intestinal obstruction, it is easy to cause re-adhesion between the intestinal tubes in the abdominal cavity, especially when the abdominal cavity is infected, the intestinal obstruction may recur.
To summarize, after the surgery of intestinal obstruction, if there is any discomfort, you should consult a doctor in time.
