Norwood Surgery is designed to establish a functional circulation in newborns whose left-sided heart structures are severely underdeveloped or otherwise unable to support the body's blood supply. The procedure includes reconstruction of the great vessels and creation of a reliable pathway for pulmonary blood flow. Because the Norwood operation is the first stage of a staged treatment pathway, infants typically require close monitoring and subsequent procedures.
