About Neonatal Surgery
Neonatal Surgery is a surgical process performed on newborn babies. This Surgery is needed only when the condition is too critical. After the birth of newborn babies, sometimes they are born with some defects or abnormalities that need to be operated on. These newborns need a highly specialized level of care during the Surgery. Our hospital provides the best pediatric neonatal surgeon in Jaipur.
Pregnancy scans frequently show conditions arising from improper fetal growth. Neonatal surgeons play a vital role in treating these disorders. Two typically treated diseases are gastroschisis and exomphalos, each with particular characteristics. Exomphalos is a disease resulting from the inappropriate growth of the baby’s abdominal wall, causing the bowel to protrude outside the little one’s body. The harshness of exomphalos can change, ranging from mild to complicated cases.
Gastroschisis is a typical condition that needs neonatal surgery. It implicates making a hole in the abdominal wall near the umbilical cord, permitting the bowel to float willingly in the amniotic fluid. This can be the reason for inflammation due to disclosure to urine and feces, assembling surgery required to return the bowel to the abdominal cavity and block the hole.
