Neonatal surgery is defined as surgical interventions in newborns within one month of age. It consists of a wide variety of diseases. The diseases are mainly congenital anomalies. In the past 5 years in National Taiwan University Hospital, a total of 172 newborns received operations (cardiovascular, orthopedical, neurological operations and minor surgeries were excluded) in the pediatric surgical division. The male to femal ratio was 2:1 (114:58). The average age at operation was 7.9±8.1 days old. There were eighteen mortalities with the mortality rate being 10.4%. We found that the significant poor prognostic factors included associated chromosomal disorder, combined congenital anomalies, low body weight during operation, high pre-operative partial thromboplatin time ratio, and an operation time beyond 100 minutes. |
