Evidence-based medicine in neonatal surgery lacks rigorous trials. Most neonatal operations rely on retrospective data and surgeon preference, highlighting the need for multicenter studies.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal surgery
  • Evidence-based medicine
  • Clinical research

Background:

  • Evidence-based medicine integrates clinical expertise with external evidence from systematic research.
  • Neonatal surgery has a significant lack of supporting scientific evidence from rigorous trials.
  • Indications and procedures in neonatal surgery are seldom supported by randomized controlled trials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review operations in neonates performed by general pediatric surgeons.
  • To highlight the scarcity of randomized controlled trials in neonatal surgical conditions.
  • To emphasize the need for multicenter prospective studies in neonatal surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review article focusing on neonatal surgical operations.
  • Analysis of existing literature on randomized controlled trials in neonatal surgery.

  • Identification of common neonatal surgical conditions and their evidence base.

    • Main Results:

    • Few randomized controlled trials exist for neonatal surgical conditions like congenital diaphragmatic hernia, necrotizing enterocolitis, pyloric stenosis, and inguinal hernia.
    • The majority of neonatal operations are based on retrospective studies and surgeon preference.
    • Existing trials in neonatal surgery often result from collaboration between pediatric surgical units.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a critical need for more high-quality scientific evidence, particularly from randomized controlled trials, in neonatal surgery.
    • Multicenter prospective studies are essential to advance evidence-based practice in neonatal surgery.
    • Establishing a network of centers is crucial to facilitate collaborative research and promote multicenter prospective studies.
