9.How old is the right age for surgery? Is there a way to get well without surgery?
A: It is generally recommended to operate around 1 week of age, because very few children within 1 year of age will heal on their own, but it is unlikely to heal on their own over 1 year of age, so they should be operated as early as possible. For children with frequent intussusception, the age of surgery can be advanced, so it is not necessary to wait until 1 year old.

A: The main precautions are to avoid strenuous exercise, crying, constipation and other conditions that increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity, and absolute bed rest is not required. One month after the operation, we should go to the outpatient clinic for a review.
