Symptoms of infants with digestive tract malformations

Digestive tract malformations are congenital malformations. Infants may have this malformation. When this malformation occurs, the child often shows some symptoms, the most common of which are vomiting and abdominal pain. If misdiagnosed or not treated in time, it may cause more serious complications for the child and may even be life-threatening, so it is imperative to receive timely treatment.

Symptoms of infants with digestive tract malformations : 1. Vomiting after birth that progressively worsens, or the vomitus contains yellow-green liquid. 2. Abdominal distension, which progressively worsens and may be accompanied by vomiting or abnormal bowel movements. 3. Abnormal meconium discharge after birth (normal babies will have meconium discharged within 24 hours after birth, and will be completely discharged in 2 to 3 days).

Diagnosis: With the improvement of prenatal diagnosis technology, more and more gastrointestinal malformations can be diagnosed prenatally. If prenatal diagnosis reveals increased amniotic fluid, dilated esophageal blind end, abnormally dilated gastric bubble, duodenal obstruction, abnormally dilated intestinal tube, intestinal tube herniation into the chest cavity (diaphragmatic hernia), etc., you need to be highly alert to the possibility of congenital digestive tract malformation;

Some other abdominal cystic masses, such as common bile duct cysts and ovarian cysts, are also often discovered before delivery. Whether congenital gastrointestinal malformations are suspected before birth, or surgical vomiting, abdominal distension, etc. occur after birth, parents should go to a pediatric department or children's hospital for early diagnosis and treatment.

Laparoscopic surgery can minimize surgical trauma, has a fast postoperative recovery, and leaves less obvious surgical scars. Its good results can reduce the patient's psychological barriers in adulthood.
