True Dysautonomia?

[MomTo2Nics]

This is a complicated question.
I hope someone can help.
My Son had a malformation removed from his spinal cord about a month ago.
He's had a 'disconnect' between his brain and some of his nerves such as urination & bowel problems as well as numbness, and sporadic pain from time to time.
They say this will subside and things will improve.
So I'm wondering if this is considered Dysautonomia or is this just a result from his surgery and a temporary issue?

Thank you.
They've done no testing.   He's seeking a few specialists for specific problems but the neurosurgeon stated several times his deficiencies at this time are temporary and never mentioned dysautonomia.
This is only my concern.

Dysautonomia can definitely be caused by surgeries. Whether or not this constitutes dysautonomia in this particular case would have to be evaluated by a physician. Did his doctors bring up the diagnosis of dysautonomia? Did they mention a specific type of dysautonomia?

Typically a dysautonomia diagnosis begins with a tilt table test, so if no testing has been done yet, that would be a good place to start.
