What is Neonatal Surgery?

Neonatal surgery refers to surgical procedures performed on newborns, typically within the first 28 days of life, to correct congenital anomalies. Key conditions treated include esophageal atresia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, omphalocele, and gastroschisis. These are often life-saving interventions requiring highly specialized pediatric surgical teams and neonatal intensive care support.
