Summary

Background: Surgical treatment in the neonatal period mostly consists of congenital anomalies. Due to the different characteristics of newborns, the practice of monitoring this group of patients by neonatal specialists in neonatal intensive care units is increasingly common in the world and in our country. In our hospital, neonatal surgery intensive care unit model has been applied for about six years.

Objectives: This study was aimed at examining the data gathered from the neonatal surgery intensive care unit we created at Ihsan Dogramaci Children's Hospital and the contribution of this model toward improving the health of newborns with surgical problems.

Methods: The file records of newborns admitted to the neonatal and neonatal surgery intensive care units which operate on two separate floors at Ihsan Dogramaci Children's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed for the period January 2014 to December 2019. The information of the patients was recorded retrospectively for the study period with the information obtained from the hospital database.

The investigators believe that the neonatal surgery intensive care unit model should become widespread in Turkey. As there is a paucity of information concerning this subject in the literature worldwide and in our country, through this study the investigators wanted to draw attention to the subject by sharing our own experience working at İhsan Dogramaci Children's Hospital.
