Treatments

Pediatric surgery is a specialized branch of surgery that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical care of infants, children, and adolescents. It includes a wide range of procedures, from minor surgeries to complex operations for congenital and acquired conditions. Pediatric surgeons are trained to handle delicate tissues and unique anatomical structures of children. Common pediatric surgeries include hernia repair, appendectomy, congenital defect corrections, and tumor removal. The approach to surgery in children prioritizes minimal invasiveness, faster recovery, and long-term developmental outcomes. Pediatric surgery requires advanced techniques, specialized equipment, and a child-friendly environment to ensure optimal care and comfort.
