Where is surgery for newborn babies done?
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at where newborn babies have emergency abdominal surgery — in the main operating room or in the neonatal unit — to see if one place is better for their recovery. If you agree, your baby will be randomly assigned to one of these two locations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is a newborn who needs emergency surgery on their belly (abdomen).
- You, as a parent or guardian, give permission for your baby to take part.
- The doctor agrees that it’s safe for your baby to be randomly assigned to have the surgery in one of two locations.
- Your baby must not have a medical reason that forces surgery to happen in a specific room (like the intensive care unit).

This study looks at adults and teens who had emergency abdominal surgery to understand their recovery and improve care. It may help future patients by identifying what works best and where improvements are needed.
This study looks at how to best manage pain in newborns who have just had surgery and are being cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). It aims to improve pain relief and comfort for these babies after their operation.
This study looks at how to help newborn babies recover more smoothly after major surgery. It tests a set of care steps called 'Enhanced Recovery After Surgery' (ERAS) to see if they reduce pain, speed up recovery, and get babies home sooner.
