Can An Infant Survive After Surgery To Fix Perforation In Intestine?
Hi about a month ago my wife had our little girl 23 weeks into her gestational period. Since she has gained about a pound but has a drain in her stomach draining out the bodily waste due to a perforation in her intestines. The now are planning to do surgery to fix this but said if her bowels aren t working they are going to take them out. How is that possible? Is that survivable?

Hello
It is survivable condition
But ur baby bowel are not working that means they have no proper movement after surgery then there is less chance of survival as ur doctor said
