Question

Anyone know about the immediate surgery some children with downs syndrome may have??

Answer 1

sometimes children with down syndrome require open heart surgery, and/or surgery to correct intestinal blockages, insertion of feeding tubes just to name a few.

Answer 2

Tongue reduction?

Answer 3

Yeah, you need to add more details but often children with downs syndrome can have heart problems which could sometimes require surgery, this is not always the case though but would be the most common thing, if you are talking about your child or someone close to you don't worry they screen for heart problems early so any problems will be corrected quickly.

Answer 4

Not without more specific information but children with Downs Syndrome are slightly more predisposed to heart conditions and they might require surgery to correct them sometimes.

More details would help, but if you're talking about a specific child then I wish him/her well. Good luck.
