Common ailments requiring paediatric surgery in children & adolescents
Pediatric surgery is a medical specialty that deals with the surgical care of infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatric surgeons work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, and private practices.
Most pediatric surgeons complete a residency in general surgery before completing a fellowship in pediatric surgery. Fellowships typically last two to three years. During their training, pediatric surgeons acquire skills in the management of complex surgical problems in infants, children, and adolescents.
Pediatric surgeons treat a wide range of conditions, including congenital anomalies, trauma, tumors, and vascular anomalies. They also perform minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopic surgery. In addition to their surgical skills, pediatric surgeons must be proficient in communication and have the ability to deal with families who are under stress.

If you have any questions or concerns about being allowed to stay with your child during surgery and recovery, please contact your healthcare provider for more information.
When your child is discharged from the hospital, we will provide instructions for post-operative care and recovery. These instructions may include information about wound care and dressing changes, physical activity restrictions, medication and nutrition guidelines, symptom monitoring, and follow-up care. We will provide written materials to help you remember these instructions and answer any questions you may have. We are here to help you ensure a safe recovery for your child at home.
