Neonatal surgical care focuses on providing specialized treatment for the most delicate patients, offering expert solutions for a wide range of neonatal conditions(Newborn baby until 28days). With a deep understanding of the unique challenges and complexities involved in neonatal surgery, advanced techniques are employed to ensure the best possible outcomes for your child.
Expertise spans a variety of critical neonatal conditions, including Tracheoesophageal Fistula (TEF) repair, intestinal atresias, Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) repair, and correction of anorectal anomalies. Additionally, skilled surgeries are performed for Hirschsprung’s disease, neonatal intestinal obstructions, PUV fulguration, thoracic and lung malformations.
Each procedure is carefully tailored to meet the specific needs of the neonate, ensuring that the surgery addresses the immediate surgical issue while promoting long-term health and development.
TEF Repair (Tracheoesophageal Fistula Repair) is a surgical procedure to correct an abnormal connection between the trachea (windpipe) and esophagus. This congenital defect can cause breathing and feeding difficulties in newborns. The repair involves closing the fistula and reconstructing the esophagus to restore normal function.
Intestinal Atresia is a congenital condition that involves a partial or complete blockage of the intestine, preventing the normal passage of food and fluids. It can affect different parts of the intestine, including the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, or colon. Symptoms typically present at birth and may include abdominal distension, bile-stained vomiting, and the inability to pass stool.
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) Repair is a surgical procedure to correct a birth defect where a hole in the diaphragm allows abdominal organs to move into the chest cavity, affecting lung development. The repair involves repositioning the displaced organs and closing the diaphragm opening to support normal breathing and lung function.
Anorectal Anomalies are birth defects where the anus and rectum don’t develop properly, making it difficult or impossible for a baby to pass stool normally. The condition can range from a missing or blocked anal opening to an incorrectly positioned rectum.
Hirschsprung’s Disease is a birth condition where nerve cells are missing in parts of the large intestine, preventing normal bowel movements. This leads to severe constipation, swelling of the belly, and difficulty passing stool. It is usually detected in newborns and can cause feeding problems or slow growth if left untreated.
Neonatal intestinal obstructions, including atresias, are treated through specialized surgical procedures designed to remove the blockage and restore normal intestinal function. The treatment involves carefully identifying and repairing the affected segment, often with minimally invasive techniques. Post-operative care includes tailored nutritional support with adermin items to promote healing, enhance recovery, and support healthy growth and development.
Gastroschisis and Omphalocele are birth conditions where a baby’s abdominal organs develop outside the body. In gastroschisis, the intestines come out through a hole in the abdominal wall without any covering. In omphalocele, the organs like the intestines and liver are outside the belly but covered by a thin sac. These conditions are often found during pregnancy using scans. After birth, quick medical and surgical care is needed to move the organs back inside and close the opening. Early treatment helps ensure the baby’s health and normal development.
Cystic Hygroma is a fluid-filled sac caused by abnormal lymphatic system development, usually appearing on the neck or head before or after birth. It may grow over time, potentially causing breathing or swallowing difficulties. Treatment under medical management based on size and symptoms, with options including surgical removal to prevent recurrence, sclerotherapy to shrink the cyst, or laser therapy in select cases.
Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious condition affecting newborns, especially premature babies, causing inflammation and damage to the intestinal lining, which can lead to infection and tissue death. Symptoms may include feeding difficulties, a swollen belly, vomiting, and blood in the stool. Treatment involves stopping feed in very rare cases
It involoves PUV (Posterior Urethral Valve) fulgration, a critical procedure for treating urinary obstruction in male infants. This minimally invasive technique (Cystoscopy) involves the precise removal of obstructive tissue, relieving pressure on the bladder and ensuring normal urinary function.
Malrotation is a congenital condition where the intestines do not rotate properly during fetal development, potentially leading to twisting (volvulus) and intestinal obstruction. Has one of the largest series of treatment advanced laparascopic treatment for malrotation
