    Author: Kelly A, Liddell M, Davis C.
    Journal: Semin Pediatr Surg; 2008 Nov; 17(4):290-6. PubMed ID: 19019298.
    Abstract:
    In the last two decades, advancement in neonatal surgery, anesthesia, and intensive care have improved the outcome not only for neonates with complex surgical conditions but also for those preterm infants with combined medical and surgical issues. Infants with surgical problems may remain in the neonatal care setting for weeks or months, and providing ongoing nursing care can be challenging but rewarding. In this article, the authors outline the immediate preoperative management, stabilization, and subsequent postoperative nursing care of the surgical neonate.
