Is urachus fistula a minor operation?

Urachal fistula surgery is a minor surgery that needs to be judged according to the specific circumstances.

Urachal fistula is usually caused by congenital malformation, usually manifested as urachal leakage, easy to be complicated with infection. Surgery is the main treatment method for this disease, including laparoscopic surgery and open surgery. The former injury is relatively small, not major surgery. The latter injury is larger, belonging to the category of major surgery. In addition, after surgery, a catheter or cystostomy tube needs to be retained to observe the surgical effect and the patient's recovery.

Most patients with urachal fistula can get a good prognosis after surgery, so there is no need to worry too much. It is recommended to eat protein-rich foods after surgery to help the body recover.
