Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a leading cause of gastrointestinal emergencies in neonates.
  • It disproportionately affects preterm infants but also occurs in term infants with low birth weight.
  • The exact causes of NEC remain unclear, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an interdisciplinary review of recent developments in NEC.
  • To focus on the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of NEC.
  • To synthesize current knowledge for a comprehensive understanding of this neonatal condition.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent research on NEC.
  • Interdisciplinary synthesis of findings from neonatology, surgery, and related fields.
