Is adult syringomyelia surgery a major operation?

Surgery for adult syringomyelia is not a major operation, but any surgery carries some risks and some complications are possible. Among the various types of urologic surgeries, syringomyelia surgery is classified as a Type I surgery, which means that it can be done by a resident. The procedure is relatively simple and short, with fewer risks, so adult syringomyelia surgery is not a major operation. The surgical procedure mainly involves anesthesia, making a small incision in the scrotum to release the syringomyelia, and then removing or flipping the syringomyelia and suturing it. After the surgery, patients need to keep warm so as not to catch cold and then catch a cold. At the same time, pay more attention to the incision care in the postoperative period, always keep the incision dry and do not let the water wet the incision, otherwise it is easy to develop edema or infection. Meanwhile, if the gauze of the incision is wet, inform the nurse to change the gauze in time. It is recommended that once the diagnosis of syringomyelia is confirmed, it is necessary to consult a doctor for surgical treatment in a timely manner, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
