About

Surgery for Newborns

When Surgery Is Needed in the First Days of Life
Some congenital conditions become apparent immediately after birth and may require urgent surgical intervention.
Our paediatric surgical team works closely with neonatology, paediatrics, anaesthesia and critical care teams to provide coordinated care for newborns requiring surgery.
This multidisciplinary approach is particularly important for premature babies and newborns with complex congenital conditions
