Surgery and Anaesthesia

Pediatric Surgery

Pediatric surgery is a specialized branch that focuses on the surgical treatment of infants, children, and adolescents. It addresses congenital malformations, developmental abnormalities, and acquired conditions. Common procedures include hernia repairs, appendectomies, and correction of birth defects. Pediatric surgeons require unique skills and equipment tailored to the anatomical and physiological differences of young patients. They collaborate with pediatricians and other specialists to ensure holistic care. Minimally invasive techniques and advances in anesthesia have significantly improved safety and recovery times. Emotional sensitivity and family-centered care are crucial, making pediatric surgery not only technically challenging but also emotionally rewarding.
