Single-incision Laparoscopic Surgery for Neonatal Congenital Duodenal Obstruction: A Retrospective Study of 130 Patients

In brief

Retrospective analysis of 130 neonates evaluating single-incision laparoscopic surgery as a minimally invasive approach for repairing congenital duodenal obstruction. The study examines clinical outcomes and complication rates to determine whether SILS offers advantages over traditional surgical techniques in this vulnerable patient population.

• SILS offers a minimally invasive approach for neonatal CDO repair with potential cosmetic and recovery benefits.
• Study evaluates clinical outcomes and complication rates in 130 neonatal patients undergoing SILS for CDO.
• Single-incision technique may reduce surgical trauma compared to multi-port laparoscopy in this population.
• Large case series provides evidence for feasibility and safety of SILS in complex neonatal anatomy.
