Pediatric Surgery

Children are not just little adults. They can’t always express what annoys them. They may not be able to answer medical questions and are not always patient and helpful during a medical examination.

Pediatric surgeons are experts at examining and treating children the way they feel relaxed and cooperative. Besides, pediatric surgeons use equipment and facilities specifically designed for children.

In our hospital, the pediatric surgery department is organized and decorated with children in mind. This includes examination rooms and waiting rooms with toys, videos, and reading material for children. Thus, it helps create a comfortable and non-threatening environment for your child.

Importance of Pediatric Surgery

If your child has a disease, injury, or condition that requires surgery, a pediatric surgeon has the experience and qualifications to treat your child.

Surgical problems prescribed by pediatric surgeons are often quite different from those prescribed by an adult or general surgeons. Discussing treatment options with the family after diagnosis, informing the family, and rehabilitation of the child are also important in pediatric surgery.

What Kind of Treatments Do Pediatric Surgeons Provide?

Pediatric surgeons diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate children’s surgical needs, including:

• Surgery for childhood and adolescent groin abnormalities, including undescended testicles, hernia, hydrocele, and varicocele

• Surgical repair of birth defects

• Serious injuries requiring surgery

• Diagnosis and surgical care of tumors

• Organ transplant operations

• Endoscopic procedures (bronchoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy)

• All other surgical procedures for children
