1.5-month-old boy with ureteral stricture set the youngest surgical record.
Mrs. Huang, 34, found edema in the right kidney of the fetus. After birth, she was diagnosed with ureteropelvic stricture, urine could not be discharged normally, and the kidney was swollen to three times the size, facing a fatal crisis of renal failure. Tzu Chi Hospital in Taipei successfully sutured the narrow ureter to the renal pelvis through mini-minimally invasive surgery, which enabled 1.5-month-old Huang Xiaodi to urinate smoothly, and also set a rescue record for the youngest patient with ureteral stricture in China. Yang, director of surgery at Tzu Chi Hospital in Taipei, who admitted the baby with severe ureteral stricture, said that after the baby was born, abdominal ultrasound examination confirmed that the ureteropelvic stricture on the right side was only 0. 1 cm, which was 1 cm of that of an ordinary baby, resulting in urine obstruction and swollen kidneys as big as eggs. If you don't have an emergency operation, you may have renal failure or even die of sepsis. Yang pointed out that because the baby is petite, traditional surgery will leave a wound as long as 4 to 6 cm, so he decided to use laparoscopic minimally invasive method for "pyeloplasty". First, make two small holes of 0.3 cm and 0.5 cm in the abdomen, then use an instrument of only 0.3 cm to enter, cut the narrow ureter, carefully sew the ureter on the renal pelvis, and widen the ureter to 0.5 cm. After the operation, the problem of urinary obstruction was successfully solved. Yang stressed that suturing is the most difficult part of the operation, and it is more difficult to use micro-slender instruments. You must have some patience and care. It took nearly half an hour to sew eight stitches, which also set a record for the youngest pyeloplaster in China. Thank you for saving the child's life. Mrs. Huang said that she had an advanced ultrasound examination in the fifth month of pregnancy and found that the fetal kidney edema was serious. Considering that she is an elderly woman, she originally planned to terminate the pregnancy, but the doctor suggested waiting until the baby was born before surgery and continuous follow-up before deciding to give birth. Thank you for saving the baby's precious life. Subscribe to the health Aloha audio-visual channel, read health knowledge more easily, and pay attention to your health every day!
