Incidence, Risk Factors and Outcomes of Acute Kidney Injury in Neonates Undergoing Open-heart Surgeries: Single Center Experience.

Background: Incidence and outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) among neonates who underwent open-heart surgery are not well highlighted in the literature. We aim to assess the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of AKI among neonates undergoing open-heart surgery.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study between 2016 and 2021 for all neonates requiring open heart surgery.

Comparison of Postoperative Outcome in Children Undergoing Inguinal Hernia Repair Using Regional With General Versus General Anesthesia Alone: A Single Center Study.

Background: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common general surgical procedures. It has been performed under local, regional, or general anesthesia. We hypothesized that using regional plus general anesthesia rather than general anesthesia alone would improve outcomes in neonates and pediatric patients undergoing hernia repair.
