About Neonatal Surgery
Neonatal surgery operates on newborns with life-threatening conditions. Tiny babies need specialised anaesthesia, warmth, nutrition and intensive care, so surgery is best done in centres with a NICU and paediatric surgical team.
Green (bilious) vomiting in a newborn is a surgical emergency.
