What is Newborn Surgery?
Newborn surgery is one of the most sensitive specialties of pediatric surgery, covering the diagnosis and treatment processes of babies who require surgical intervention immediately after life in the womb, during the first 28 days of life. Assoc. Prof. İlknur Banlı Cesur, who specializes in newborn surgery in Adana, touches tiny lives with the most modern methods.
Babies are not "small adults" surgically. Their metabolisms, respiratory systems, and tissue sensitivities require a completely different approach. A surgical intervention in the newborn period directly affects the baby's entire future quality of life. Therefore, it is vital that these surgeries are performed in centers with advanced neonatal intensive care facilities and by experienced hands.
Main Conditions Treated
Primary anomalies encountered in the newborn period and requiring surgical intervention include:
- Esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula repair

Expert Touch in Newborn Health
For parents, learning that their baby will undergo a surgical operation is a very worrying situation. Assoc. Prof. İlknur Banlı Cesur manages this process in the most secure and transparent way by informing parents in detail with scientific data. Our goal is not just to operate, but to ensure that your baby steps into a healthy childhood and adulthood.
Thanks to modern anesthesia methods and advanced neonatal intensive care units, surgeries performed by an experienced team are quite safe. Risks always exist, but these risks are minimized with scientific approaches.
When situations such as sucking disorder, biliary vomiting, inability to defecate, or abdominal swelling are seen in the baby, a pediatric surgeon should be consulted without losing time. In some cases, the diagnosis is made before birth (in the womb) and planning is made accordingly.
