Some babies need surgery right after birth, and as parents, this can feel overwhelming.
However, the truth is that early surgery often saves lives and ensures normal development.
Newborns may require immediate surgical care for:
Blocked intestines
Breathing difficulty due to organ malposition
Feeding problems caused by a disconnected oesophagus
Abdominal wall defects
Other congenital anomalies
These conditions are treatable, especially when identified early through prenatal scans or right after delivery.
A Pediatric Surgeon plays a crucial role in diagnosing, stabilizing, and treating these conditions—giving your baby the best possible start in life.
If your doctor recommends an early surgical evaluation, don’t panic, timely treatment leads to excellent outcomes.
