In daily work, there are often many parents of children with spina bifida consult what complications will occur after surgery, and how to deal with them after they occur, now I will talk to you about the following common problems: 1, what complications will the surgery cause? There can be several complications after spina bifida surgery, the common ones are: neurological dysfunction (complete or incomplete paralysis of limbs, urinary and fecal incontinence, etc.), hydrocephalus, wound and intraspinal canal infections, non-healing of wounds, and leakage of cerebrospinal fluid from wounds. 2. What is the complication of hydrocephalus or neurogenic bladder after surgery? Patients who have a certain degree of hydrocephalus before the surgery, the hydrocephalus may be aggravated after the surgery, and patients who do not have hydrocephalus before the surgery, there are very few patients who will appear after the surgery, which is mainly related to the cerebrospinal fluid circulation is affected after the surgery. Neurogenic bladder is mainly manifested as abnormal urination, for example, there is already urine discharged without knowing it, or there is a feeling of urination but not able to control urination freely, or there is still a certain degree of control but urination is laborious and not clean, etc. This is mainly due to the damage of the neuropathy in charge of urination. 3.Can hydrocephalus be absorbed by itself after surgery? Do I need a second surgery? Whether hydrocephalus needs surgery after surgery depends on the degree of hydrocephalus. Mild hydrocephalus without obvious symptoms and no aggravation under dynamic observation does not need surgery, but in general, most of the obstructive hydrocephalus cannot be absorbed by itself. 4.How to treat neurogenic bladder or urinary incontinence after surgery? Will it stay with me forever? Most doctors believe that there is no proven cure for neurogenic bladder, and once it occurs, it will last a lifetime. In our neurosurgery department, intermittent clean catheterization is usually used to relieve the damage to the urinary system caused by abnormal urination. 5.How to minimize postoperative complications? Is the incidence of postoperative complications related to the age of the patient at surgery? It is essential to strive for excellence in surgery to minimize the damage to the nervous system, and care should be taken to care for the wound after surgery, generally in prone position, etc. Generally speaking, the younger the age, the more cerebrospinal fluid leakage from the wound, non-healing of the wound, infection and hydrocephalus occur after surgery, while the older the age, the more neurological dysfunction occurs after surgery. 6.What should parents pay attention to in the process of postoperative rehabilitation care? Generally, after surgery, the children will be placed in prone position, sometimes the head needs to be low and the buttocks slightly elevated, and attention should be paid to avoid contamination of the wound by urine and feces, etc. If the child cries for no reason, vomits, and develops fever, it should be reported to the doctors and nurses in a timely manner. If the temperature is normal and the wound is healing well, the child can be discharged from the hospital 6-7 days after the surgery. After discharge, the child should be rechecked regularly to pay attention to the wound condition, limb movement and bowel movement, in general, the child will be prone for about 1 week after discharge, and after that, the baby can be picked up vertically, and those who are able to walk can move down to the ground again after 1 month of the surgery.
