The importance of pediatric surgery
If your child has an illness, injury, or condition that requires surgery, a pediatric surgeon has the experience and qualifications needed to treat your child.
The surgical problems described by pediatric surgeons are often very different from those described by adult or general surgeons. In pediatric surgery, it is also important to discuss treatment options with the family after the diagnosis and to inform the family and rehabilitate the child.
What kind of treatments do pediatric surgeons provide?
Pediatric surgeons diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate children’s surgical needs, including:
- Surgery of thigh deformities in childhood and adolescence including undescended testicle, hernia, hydrocele, and varicocele
- Surgical repair of birth defects
- Serious Injuries Requiring Surgery
- Diagnostics and surgical care of tumors
- Transfers
- Endoscopic procedures (bronchoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy)
- All other pediatric surgeries
