Neonatal Surgery
Neonatal Surgery
Neonatal surgery involves the specialized care and surgical treatment of newborns, particularly those with congenital abnormalities or conditions that require immediate surgical intervention. At City Care Hospital, our dedicated team of pediatric surgeons is experienced in managing a wide range of neonatal conditions with the highest standards of precision and care.
Conditions We Treat
Our neonatal surgery unit is equipped to handle various conditions that may be diagnosed before or shortly after birth, including but not limited to:
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH)
A serious condition where a hole in the diaphragm allows abdominal organs to move into the chest, affecting lung development.
- Breathing Challenges – The compression of the lungs can cause severe respiratory distress at birth.
- Urgent Intervention – Surgical repair is often necessary to reposition the organs and restore normal lung function.
- Comprehensive Care – Our team provides specialized treatment, including pre- and post-surgical management, to support lung development and overall recovery.
Gastrointestinal Malformations
Congenital conditions affecting the digestive tract that often require prompt surgical intervention.
- Esophageal Atresia – The esophagus is not fully formed, leading to feeding difficulties and aspiration risks.
- Intestinal Atresia – Narrowing or blockage in the intestines prevents proper digestion and nutrient absorption.
- Anorectal Malformations – Abnormal development of the anus and rectum, impacting bowel function and requiring corrective surgery.
Our specialized team provides timely diagnosis, surgical care, and ongoing support to ensure the best outcomes for affected infants.
Neonatal Tumors
Neonatal tumors are growths present at birth that can be benign or malignant.
- Teratomas – Tumors composed of various tissue types, such as bone, hair, and muscle. While often benign, they may require surgical removal if they grow large.
- Neuroblastomas – A cancer arising from immature nerve cells, commonly affecting the adrenal glands. Early detection and surgical intervention are crucial for better outcomes.
Our team provides expert diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care to ensure the best possible prognosis for newborns with these conditions.
Congenital Heart Defects
Congenital heart defects are structural abnormalities present from birth that can impact blood flow within the heart and to the body.
- Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) – A hole in the wall separating the heart’s lower chambers, affecting normal circulation.
- Tetralogy of Fallot – A combination of four heart defects that reduce oxygen levels in the blood, leading to cyanosis (bluish skin).
Our team provides early diagnosis, advanced treatment options, and long-term management to support heart health and overall well-being.
Neural Tube Defects
Neural tube defects are birth abnormalities that occur when the neural tube, which develops into the brain and spinal cord, fails to close properly during early pregnancy.
- Spina Bifida – A condition in which the spine and spinal cord do not form completely, potentially causing physical and neurological challenges.
Early surgical intervention, such as spinal closure in spina bifida cases, is essential to prevent complications, reduce infection risks, and enhance the child’s quality of life.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
Our neonatal surgeons employ advanced surgical techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for our youngest patients. These include:
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: Whenever possible, we use laparoscopic or thoracoscopic approaches to minimize trauma, reduce recovery time, and lower the risk of complications.
- Prenatal Consultations: We offer prenatal consultations to diagnose and plan for surgical interventions before the baby is born, allowing for seamless care immediately after delivery.
- Postoperative Care: Our specialized neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) provides round-the-clock monitoring and care for newborns recovering from surgery, ensuring a smooth recovery process.
