Abstract

Neonates undergoing abdominal wall defect repair are at risk of bowel ischemia due to increased intra-abdominal pressure during surgical manipulation [1].This pressure can compromise perfusion, particularly in patients undergoing primary closure [2, 3].Detecting early signs of compromised oxygenation remains difficult, as traditional monitoring tools may not accurately reflect regional perfusion [4].Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers continuous, non-invasive monitoring
