Do neonatal doctors perform surgeries?!


Question: Do neonatal doctors perform surgeries!?
I want to someday become a neonatal doctor, and I am wondering if they have to perform surgeries on babies!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
A neonatalogist manages care of neonates ( infants from birth- 28 days old)!. They attend high risk pregnancies, intubate and care for premature babies and are essentially a neonatal doctor!. Usually if a baby needs surgery, (ex!. heart is a common one), there are surgeons who specialize in this field of medicine that perform these!. You wouldn't want you gynecologist to perform a knee surgery on you, right!?!?!? These guys are not surgeons!.

Be aware that this is a very fast paced field and usually only the cream of the crop medical practitioners work in this area due to the knowledge and clinical skills required!. Good Luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

neonatologists spend 16 years becoming what they are and what they do
so they probaly do preform surgeries, but depending on the need!. if its with the heart usually a cardiologist would preform that surgery etc!.

edit* high risk pregnancies are looked after by a parinatologist, my friend hollyy is expecting triplets

Neonatologist manage the health of mother and baby before birth!. Compared to an OB, they super focus on the fetus!. They detect genetic abnormalities, organ problems, and they often deal with things like a diabetic mother pregnant with triplets!. ie, the super high risk pregnancies!.
