Okay, if the research is showing they grow back, then that is definitely
going to impact them getting done at all, and most certainly impact a mother's
decision to have it done. It's one thing to think of a painless procedure and
another to see it as something that requires stitches. So, my question is
do we see this in only certain types of tongue tie? Or in all tongue ties?
Is there research that supports 60% with a problem of scarring and growing
back? If this research is there, and if the procedure being done on a number of
babies by several doctors in my area is in fact 60% ineffective and can do
more harm than good, I would want to see that research. I am not saying the
ENT was not right about this baby, I am thinking in general because most of
what I am reading talks about the procedure as something simple and does not
require stitching for simple tongue tie in the newborn.
Like I said, this is not an ENT who routinely clips and actually, I find he
only does so in the most severe instances, so of course I trust what he saw
and did. Is this 60% a number specific to a type of procedure? I have not
seen thousands of babies with tongue tie, but I have never seen one have it
grow back. I am thinking if it were 60% we would be discussing this on Lactnet
.....
Thanks Cathy Genna-Watson for letting me know it has happened before.
Seems so odd to me that it would happen. Does the same thing happen with
cauterization? Is that another reason why ENT's prefer to cauterize? Which do you
think gives the best recovery time for the baby?
Thanks,
