The repair of the tongue tie is also what we common people call cutting the tongue tie. It seems very simple. In fact, we often see that some children's tongue tie is thicker clinically. The thicker tongue tie will ooze blood after you cut it, and the compression is generally difficult to stop bleeding. At this time, we need to suture it. After suturing, let the wound stop bleeding. If the suture is not performed, or the child is too young to cooperate, then sometimes general anesthesia is needed. We must pay attention to whether the patient's tongue ligament needs to be sutured before surgery. If you need to suture, evaluate whether the patient can cooperate with your suture. If the patient cannot cooperate, you must not trim the wound under local anesthesia in the outpatient department. Otherwise, it is easy to cause the wound after trimming cannot be sutured, bleeding will not stop, and severe patients may suffer shock due to bleeding. Therefore, we suggest that the tongue ligament be trimmed under general anesthesia for this patient, so that the wound can be fully stopped after suture to ensure the patient's safety.
