At Sarkar Hospital, Agra<\/strong>, neonatal surgery is performed to treat critical medical conditions present at birth and to provide life-saving care<\/strong> to newborns.<\/p>

Neonatal surgery addresses serious congenital and acquired conditions such as heart defects, intestinal blockages, breathing problems, and other abnormalities that can affect a baby\u2019s survival and development.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What Is Neonatal Surgery?<\/strong><\/h3>

Neonatal surgery<\/strong> is a specialised branch of medicine that focuses on performing surgical procedures on newborn babies, usually within the first 28 days of life<\/strong>. In some cases, surgery may be required within a few hours after birth.<\/p>

Although the thought of surgery on a newborn can be overwhelming for parents, neonatal surgery often offers the best chance for survival, healthy growth, and long-term wellbeing.<\/p>

At Sarkar Hospital, neonatal surgeries are carried out by a multidisciplinary team<\/strong> of experienced neonatal surgeons, neonatologists, anaesthesiologists, and specialised nursing staff.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Purpose of Neonatal Surgery<\/strong><\/h4>

The primary goal of neonatal surgery is to diagnose, correct, and treat conditions that cannot be managed before birth or through medication alone<\/strong>.<\/p>

Neonatal surgery helps:<\/p>

  • Save the baby\u2019s life<\/p><\/li>

  • Improve breathing, digestion, and circulation<\/p><\/li>

  • Prevent long-term complications<\/p><\/li>

  • Support normal growth and development<\/p><\/li>

  • Improve quality of life<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    Premature babies may also require neonatal surgery to correct developmental problems affecting the heart, lungs, or digestive system.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Neonatal Surgery Procedure<\/strong><\/h4>

    Each neonatal surgery is customised based on the baby\u2019s condition.<\/p>

    1. Assessment & Diagnosis<\/h5>

    Doctors perform detailed examinations using imaging tests, blood tests, and specialist consultations to confirm the need for surgery.<\/p>

    2. Preparation<\/h5>

    The baby is stabilised and prepared for surgery. Parents are counselled about the procedure, risks, and expected outcomes.<\/p>

    3. Anaesthesia<\/h5>

    Specialised neonatal anaesthesia ensures the baby remains pain-free and stable throughout the procedure.<\/p>

    4. Surgery<\/h5>

    The surgeon performs the procedure using either minimally invasive techniques<\/strong> or open surgery<\/strong>, depending on the condition.<\/p>

    5. Recovery<\/h5>

    After surgery, the baby is carefully monitored as they recover from anaesthesia.<\/p>

    6. Post-Operative Care<\/h5>

    The baby is shifted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)<\/strong> for advanced monitoring and support.<\/p>

    7. Follow-Up<\/h5>

    Regular follow-ups are scheduled to monitor healing, growth, and overall health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
