Neonatal Surgery

Neonatal surgery is a highly specialized branch of pediatric surgery focusing on the correction of congenital anomalies in newborns. Common conditions managed include congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), abdominal wall defects (gastroschisis and omphalocele), esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF), intestinal atresias, and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Care requires a multidisciplinary approach involving neonatologists, pediatric anesthetists, and specialized intensive care nursing, utilizing advanced incubation and micro-ventilation facilities.
