Summary

Meningomyelocele is one of the most common neural tube defects requiring surgical repair in the neonatal period. Postoperative respiratory complications and the need for prolonged mechanical ventilation are important causes of morbidity in these patients. The timing of extubation may influence postoperative respiratory outcomes and the duration of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay. This retrospective cohort study aims to evaluate the impact of operating room extubation on postoperative outcomes in neonates undergoing meningomyelocele repair at Gaziantep City Hospital. Clinical, laboratory, and perioperative data will be obtained from hospital records. Postoperative mechanical ventilation requirement, duration of ventilation, NICU length of stay, and perioperative laboratory changes will be compared between neonates extubated in the operating room and those extubated in the intensive care unit.
