If you are: asking for yourself (did YOU have surgery as an infant)? or NOT the answer is the same....usually NO PROBLEMS HOWEVER this should be discussed in detail with your PCP (Primary Care Physician! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z

None: This is a newborn problem and I have never heard of complications after successful treatment. It does not involve entering the bowel.You may have a separate or unrelated problem. All the best.

Scar, obstruction: Any surgery can leave scarring at the site : post-surgical narrowing would cause more of the same problem that the original stenosis caused, but would occur within a few weeks to months, very unlikely to cause issues 17 years later !
