ABSTRACT
Abdominal surgical emergencies are relatively common in neonates. Some of them are related to congenital diseases such as intestinal atresia and intestinal malrotation, whereas some are entirely postnatal conditions such as necrotizing enterocolitis and gastric perforation. While there is a wide range of clinical severity for these conditions, outcomes are most favorable with prompt identification and expeditious treatment. In this review, we describe the most common neonatal abdominal surgical emergencies, highlight the signs that can help with early detection, and explain the approach to diagnosis and management.
