Bedside vs Conventional Operating Room Surgery in Critically Ill Newborns: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
This meta-analysis found higher mortality in the bedside surgery group, though infection risk, post-operative hypothermia, operative time, and hospital stay were similar between groups. Bedside surgery reduced intraoperative hypothermia. Due to study variability and observational designs, surgical approach should be tailored to the neonate's clinical condition and available resources.
