Can test tube baby ascites be treated surgically
Test tube baby ascites is a common fetal anomaly, which refers to the accumulation of excessive fluid in the abdominal cavity of the fetus. The treatment of ascites has always been controversial. Some people believe that surgical treatment is an effective choice, while others believe that medication or conservative treatment is a safer choice. This article will elaborate on the surgical treatment of IVF ascites from the aspects of background knowledge, effectiveness of surgical treatment, surgical risk and hospital practice.
background knowledge
Test tube baby ascites is caused by abnormal development of abdominal organs or blood vessels of the fetus. Ascites can be caused by fetal congenital diseases, chromosomal abnormalities, infections, placental dysfunction, etc. Severe ascites will increase the risk of fetal complications, such as pulmonary dysplasia, cardiopulmonary dysfunction, and delayed intellectual development. Therefore, timely and effective treatment of ascites is very important for promoting the healthy development of the fetus.
There are many ways to treat ascites, including gastrointestinal decompression, thoracic puncture, abdominal puncture, fetal endoscopy and fetal surgery. Among them, surgical treatment is considered to be an effective choice.
Effectiveness of surgical treatment
Surgical treatment can reduce the pressure of ascites and promote the normal development of fetal organs by inserting the puncture needle into the abdominal cavity of the fetus and extracting excess fluid. Some studies have shown that surgical treatment can significantly reduce the incidence of fetal complications.
For example, the research report of XX Hospital in a city shows that the survival rate of the fetus is significantly improved and the proportion of fetal organ dysplasia is greatly reduced after the hospital has operated on test tube baby ascites. This shows that surgical treatment is an effective way to treat test tube baby ascites.
However, surgical treatment is not applicable to all cases of ascites. Doctors need to evaluate according to the specific situation, comprehensively consider the condition of the fetus, the physical condition of the mother and the risk of surgery, and decide whether to take surgery.
Surgical risk
Although surgical treatment can effectively alleviate the symptoms of fetal ascites, it is not without risks. The risks of operation mainly include fetal injury, infection and premature delivery.
During the operation, the puncture needle may damage the abdominal organs of the fetus, leading to bleeding or other complications. In addition, the puncture process will also increase the risk of infection. For cases with high risk of infection, doctors need to be more cautious in performing surgery.
At the same time, surgical treatment may increase the risk of premature delivery. Premature delivery will increase the risk of fetal complications, which needs comprehensive evaluation by doctors when performing surgical treatment.
Hospital Practice
At present, many well-known hospitals in China have begun to implement the surgical treatment of test tube baby ascites. For example, a pediatric hospital named XX Hospital in Beijing has established a professional team for IVF ascites, with advanced surgical equipment and experienced doctors. Through surgical treatment, the hospital successfully saved many fetuses with severe ascites and achieved good results.
These hospitals provided valuable data and experience for relevant research through the practice of surgical treatment of IVF ascites, which further confirmed the effectiveness and safety of surgical treatment.
Summary
Test tube baby ascites is a common fetal abnormality, and surgical treatment is an effective choice. Surgical treatment can alleviate the symptoms of fetal ascites and promote the normal development of fetal organs. However, surgical treatment also has certain risks, including the risk of fetal injury, infection and premature delivery. Therefore, doctors need to evaluate according to the specific situation and choose the appropriate treatment method. Many well-known domestic hospitals have carried out the surgical treatment of IVF ascites and achieved good results, which provides valuable experience and data for related research.
