About Treatment

Pediatric surgery involves specialized surgical procedures for infants, children, and adolescents to treat conditions such as congenital anomalies (e.g., hernias, cleft lip/palate), childhood cancers, gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., appendicitis), trauma injuries, and urological problems. Pediatric surgeons collaborate with other specialists to provide comprehensive care that considers the unique needs of young patients, aiming to achieve optimal outcomes while minimizing the impact on growth and development.

Common treatments and procedures in pediatric surgery include:

• Correction of congenital anomalies (hernia repair, cleft lip/palate surgery)
• Surgery for childhood cancers (tumor resection, chemotherapy port placement)
• Appendectomy for appendicitis
• Treatment of traumatic injuries (fractures, lacerations)
• Urological surgeries (hypospadias repair, nephrectomy)
• Gastrointestinal surgeries (bowel resection, pyloric stenosis repair)
• Thoracic surgeries (lung resection, repair of chest wall deformities)
• Neurosurgical procedures (ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement, tumor excision)
