This volume addresses the major “index cases” involving neonates that are taught in pediatric surgical training programs. The description of these major neonatal malformations emphasizes practical features of management. Clinical presentations and safest cost-effective investigations, followed by management steps that maximize efficiency with the safest outcome are described. The available evidence supporting each approach is also stressed and the technical steps of the operations are outlined for clinicians caring for these patients. Illustrations and photographs supplement descriptions of the care. This book serves a practical purpose for clinicians caring for relatively rare but extremely important conditions facing the newborn patient.
