How Does Laparoscopy Compare to Open Surgery in Neonates?
Laparoscopy is generally preferred over open surgery in neonates due to its minimally invasive nature and associated benefits like quicker recovery and less postoperative discomfort. However, in complex cases or when extensive access is required, open surgery may still be necessary. The choice between laparoscopy and open surgery depends on the specific condition, the surgeonâs expertise, and the overall health of the neonate.
