Abstract

Background: Congenital anomalies (CAs) originate during intrauterine life and interfere with the body functions. CAs are important causes of childhood mortality, chronic illness, and disability. Aim: The study aimed to understand the pattern of surgical congenital malformations in paediatric patients of Tomo Riba Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (TRIHMS) hospital and other nearby hospitals for twelve consecutive years (2007–2019). Methods: This is a retrospective study of 1459 patients (age range 0-14 years) operated at TRIHMS and nearby hospitals of Naharlagun. We collected the data from Operation theatre registers and personal records of operating surgeons from the year 2007 to 2019. Results: The study revealed that congenital anomalies of the gastrointestinal (48.8%), genitourinary system (45.4%), and musculoskeletal system (1.9%) were the most common types of CAs. Males were more affected with CAs than females (73.8% versus 26.2%). Conclusion:Congenital malformations of the gastro-intestinal and genitourinary systems were the most common types of CAs in the hospitals. To prevent CAs, there is a need to restrict the prescription of medications that may have a teratogenic effect.
