Congenital malformations
Some malformations are found during pregnancy, others at birth. A consultation as soon as a prenatal diagnosis is made helps prepare the birth and the baby's care.

Neonatal surgery and congenital malformations
Neonatal surgery cares for newborns and infants with a congenital malformation or a surgical condition in the first weeks of life.
Pyloric stenosis
It typically shows in infants a few weeks old as projectile vomiting after feeds, becoming more and more frequent. Diagnosis is made by ultrasound and treatment is surgical.
Care adapted to newborns
Each procedure is prepared with the paediatric and anaesthesia team, with particular attention to the safety and comfort of the baby and the parents.
This information is general and does not replace a consultation: every child is assessed individually.
Frequently asked questions
A malformation was seen on the pregnancy ultrasound: what should we do?
A paediatric surgery consultation during pregnancy explains the malformation and its treatment, and helps organise the birth in the right place.
My baby vomits after every feed. Is it serious?
Repeated projectile vomiting in an infant a few weeks old requires a prompt consultation, in particular to look for pyloric stenosis.
