Your child’s doctor might suggest surgery to treat the ureterocele. The treatments available can vary depending on your child’s situation and where you live in Europe, because healthcare is different in each country. Your doctor will explain all the treatment choices, what to expect, and any risks. They will make recommendations based on your child’s specific health needs.
Most surgeries are done under general anaesthesia. This means your child will be given medicine to make them sleep deeply during the operation. While asleep, they won’t feel anything and won’t remember the surgery afterward.
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.
