Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello. We just found out that my 5 month old son has relux and also his ligament of treitz is lower than it should be causing food to stay in his stomach much longer that it should. We are going to be referred to a surgeon soon. They talked about doing a surgery where they wrap his stomach around the esophegus to help with the reflux, but I m not sure what they are thinking they are going to do about the ligament of treitz. I was wondering if you could give me a general idea of what to expect of how they will correct this surgically and is it also somehthing they would do laproscopically?
Your child has a problem and it needs surgery, trust your doctor and feel free to ask him anything you want and need and are concerned about. Your surgeon should be the one to explain the diagnosis. No other person shall be able to tell you the diagnosis you are giving unless one has examined the baby.
