THE RESULTS OF A NEW ORGANIZATIONAL MODEL INTRODUCED FOR THE CARE OF NEWBORNS WITH CONGENITAL MALFORMATIONS: A CLINICAL CASE

Abstract

An important aspect in providing surgical care to newborns with congenital disorders in the early neonatal period is a
timely diagnosis, transportation of a little patient to the surgical hospital, nursing and care in the postoperative period. To
date, the concern of transportation of newborn babies remains ambiguous and controversial.
The given study exemplifies a clinical case of a newborn with anorectal malformation, atresia of anus, rectum, an ivory
form, in combination with a congenital malformation of the urinary system. On the example of this clinical case, the potential
risk mitigation measures have been assessed to avoid any life-threatening complications with transportation excluded.
The timely diagnosis and treatment contributed to a favorable prognosis and the absence of complications. A special
feature of this case is complex treatment in the conditions of the 3rd level perinatal center. The pre-operative and postoperative care was given by neonatologists. The patient was discharged with improvement at the age of 19 days in
satisfactory condition.
