%X Neonatal surgical pathologies in developing countries are characterized
by high mortality. The aim of this work was to describe the characteristics of
the newborn and its surgical pathologies treated in the neonatal department of
the Gabriel Tour¨¦ University Hospital in Bamako (Mali). Patients and method: This is a retrospective study of 626 files of newborns hospitalized over a
period of 3 years (January 2016 to December 2018) for a surgical pathology,
whether operated on or not. We have studied the etiological, therapeutic and
evolutionary aspects. Results: During the study period, we collected 626
patients who had surgical pathology, i.e. a
frequency of 5.35%. The average therapeutic consultation time was 2 days with
extremes (1 and 30 days). Pathologies of the abdominal wall and digestive tract
represented 57.9% (n = 84) followed by pathologies of the spine 26.9% (n = 39).
The mean treatment time was 4.5 days. Twenty-three point sixteen (23.16%)
newborns could be operated on. The neonatal mortality rate was 12.4% (n = 18).
Mortality was postoperative (100%) with a mean time to onset of 5 days.
Abdominal wall pathologies were responsible for 8.7% (n = 13) of deaths. Conclusion: Surgical pathologies of the newborn are characterized by delayed treatment with
high mortality. Improving their prognosis requires early diagnosis (prenatal
diagnosis) and adequate management.
