The child was born with the same tumor as his mother. Doctors completely removed the child’s congenital defect in just one operation, while the girl’s mother had to undergo several surgical interventions 32 years ago.
In Lviv, at the children’s hospital of St. Nicholas, surgeons removed a half-pound sacrococcygeal teratoma from an infant. It turns out that the child was born with the same tumor as his mother. This was reported by the press service of the First Medical Association of Lvov.
It is reported that doctors completely removed the child’s congenital defect in just one operation, while the girl’s mother had to undergo several surgical interventions 32 years ago.
“The little Lviv girl Roxolanka was born more than a month ago – with an 8-cm tumor was discovered in the 19th week of pregnancy – during an ultrasound, Roxolana’s mother, was very frightened by this news, at one time he also had We were diagnosed with sacrococcygeal teratoma This is a tumor that develops in the body of the child in the womb, usually with a large size and compresses the internal organs The the only treatment is surgical removal.
Lviv surgeons performed a complex operation on the 10th day after the birth of the child.
The operation seemed difficult, because the girl had a deep type 3 teratoma. Surgeons had to immediately cut out the tumor and perform an anoproctoplasty, that is, restore the damaged areas where the tumor was removed. For such babies, it is very important to do all the necessary manipulations in one operation, because it reduces the risk of complications and shortens the recovery period. Our surgeons succeeded, and instead of a half-kilogram tumor, only a clean silk remained, they report to the First Medical Association of Lvov.
The girl’s mother was very worried, but new treatment methods were available and her daughter only had one operation. Even the stitches after the operation pleased the mother, because she herself was left with a large scar.
Doctor Galina Kurilo reports what has changed in more than 30 years in the treatment of sacrococcygeal teratomas.
“Before, due to the limited diagnostic methods and the lack of necessary instruments, the removal of teratomas was carried out in several stages, and after the operation a large scar was left. Now we have more opportunities for in the most accurate examination. If a child is born in our maternity ward in the hospital, then Even at the stage of pregnancy, we already draw a plan for the future intervention And immediately after the birth of the baby, all the necessary specialist is beginning to take care of it, and modern technologies make it possible to perform all the necessary stages in one operation: to remove the formation and perform plastic surgery in any way in the future,” said the doctor.
He added that the doctors at St. Nicholas Children’s Hospital has already performed hundreds of successful interventions.
It was also reported that in this case, both diagnoses in mother and daughter were not hereditary, but a coincidence.
Doctors report that this pathology occurs in one in 35,000 newborns, and also remind: sacrococcygeal pain is not an indication for termination of pregnancy.
