what happens if any one has had reconstructive or cosmetic surgery to repair the scar from having pyloric stenosis as a baby?

Question

What to do if I have corrective surgery for pyloric stenosis scar tissue?

Answer 1

Which scar: i assume you are talking about the abdominal wall scar. there will be no effect other than having a different looking scar and hopefully more pleasing to you.

Answer 2

Ice: Try to limit the pain killers. Usually an absolute max is 8/day. It depends on the drug and the strength. Cold packs for 15-20 minutes at a time can help. There are many different meds to try if the 1 you are using is not effective.

Answer 3

Question cut off.: You may use the med as prescribed - sounds like 2 pills every four hours. I suspect this was a narcotic med combined with acetaminophen. Be careful not to exceed 4000 mg of Acetaminophen daily. 650 mg of tylenol 6 times a day would generally be safe for short periods of time.

Answer 4

Need full evaluation: A person with hearing problems since age 5 years will have had evaluations by her pediatrician or primary care doctor, been referred to an audiologist for complete testing, and been seen by an ENT doctor to find out if there is any correctable disorder causing the hearing problems. If these things have not been done, she should write down her story and take it to her primary care doctor to start.

Answer 5

50-60% of childhood: hearing loss is genetic; 40-50% is environmental. Pendred Syndrome causes 5-10% of inherited hearing loss & also causes hypothyroidism. It's caused by inheriting a specific gene mutation on Chromosome 7 from each parent. Take all your hearing test results from birth till now to your doctor & request a Chromosomal Microarray & referral to an ear doctor & an audiologist for assessment & treatment.

Answer 6

Rest: It sounds more like cervical radiculopathy, or nerve symptoms originating from your neck. Many of these improve on their own. Some of these also cause shoulder and rotator cuff problems. Visit your friendly neighborhood orthopod or sports medicine doc so we can give you an individualized answer after an examination.

Answer 7

Hand numbness: There is a good chance that what you are describing is carpal tunnel syndrome. If this continues wear a wrist splint at night. If this does not solve the numbness then you need to discuss this with your doctor.

Answer 8

Yes: This is a very popular "mommy make-over" combo because women who have children often have abdominal bulges afterwards and the breasts may have enlarged/drooped. The procedures are safe to do at the same time if the patient is in good health otherwise and the doctor has experience with the procedure. Combining the two increases risks slightly so some people choose to do them separately.

Answer 9

Yes: It is 6-8 hours of surgery but people frequently combine operations to save on the recovery time. You must be in good health though.

Answer 10

Commonly: Yes. This is a relatively common commbination but not as common as a breast lift and/or augmentation with a tummy tuck which is referred to as the "mommy makeover" please make sure to see a surgeon to fully discuss e risks, alternatives and benefits to surgery.

Answer 11

Yes...: Some people want to "get it all over with" and want to do their surgery in one anesthetic. This can be expedient but also can be a fair amount of surgery to sustain at one time. Maybe it is less of a big deal with a small breast reduction, but i tend to get the big ones. :).

Answer 12

Very common: Patient safety is the most important consideration with these types of procedures. Patients often want many things done at once. It is very common and safe to perform breast surgery and abdominoplasty at the same time. However, each patient must be evaluated carefully by a board certified plastic surgeon and the risks fully explained.
