Surgery for ectopic ureter is carried out under general anaesthesia. This is where your child is given medication to send them to sleep. Once they are asleep, they do not feel anything, nor will they remember the operation.
After the surgery, your child will go to a recovery area where the doctors and nurses will watch them closely. The healthcare team will give you instructions on how to care for the wound, manage any pain, and if there are any foods or activities to avoid. Following these instructions is important to help your child heal well.
