COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF COMPLICATIONS IN OPTIMIZED SURGICAL TREATMENT METHODS FOR DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIAS IN NEWBORNS

Abstract

The article presents information about a study conducted to analyze the frequency of complications arising from the application of new and traditional surgical treatment methods for diaphragmatic hernias in newborns. The study included 70 newborns diagnosed with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Depending on the method of surgical intervention, the children were divided into 2 groups: the comparison group – children treated surgically by the traditional open method (n=44); the main group – children treated by a minimally invasive endosurgical method (n=26). In the main group, the duration of the operation, the length of the incision, the volume of blood loss and the duration of antibiotic administration were statistically significantly less than in the comparison group. The proposed method of surgical treatment is characterized by a low frequency of intraoperative complications and rapid recovery of the condition of newborns.
