PAEDIATRIC SURGERY
Paediatric Surgery is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the surgical care of infants, children, and adolescents. It deals with the diagnosis and treatment of congenital, developmental, and acquired conditions that require surgical intervention in young patients.
Common conditions managed by paediatric surgeons include birth defects, hernias, appendicitis, intestinal obstruction, congenital gastrointestinal anomalies, urogenital problems, tumors, and trauma-related injuries. Paediatric surgeons use child-friendly surgical techniques, minimally invasive procedures, and age-appropriate anesthesia to ensure safety and comfort.
Paediatric surgical conditions may present with congenital abnormalities, abdominal swelling, vomiting, feeding difficulty, pain, lumps, infections, hernias, or bowel and urinary problems in infants and children.
Diagnosis involves clinical examination, prenatal or postnatal imaging, ultrasound, X-rays, CT scan, MRI, blood tests, and other age-appropriate investigations.
