What do Pediatric Surgery Physicians do?
Pediatric surgeons diagnose and perform surgeries on infants, children, and adolescents to treat conditions ranging from congenital abnormalities and birth defects to injuries, tumors, and diseases.
They are specialists who have undergone extensive training to perform operations on a growing body, often using minimally invasive techniques when possible, and manage the unique medical needs of young patients.
What they do
Treat birth defects: They repair congenital malformations such as cleft lip and palate, gastroschisis, and esophageal atresia.
Perform general pediatric surgeries: This includes procedures like appendectomies, hernia repairs, and the removal of organs such as the appendix, gallbladder, or spleen.
Manage trauma: They provide emergency surgical care for children who have sustained serious injuries from accidents, falls, or burns.
They operate on tumors, treating both benign and cancerous tumors in children, including those in the liver and kidney.
Correct chest wall deformities: They perform procedures such as the Nuss procedure to correct conditions like pectus excavatum (“funnel chest”).
Provide pre- and post-operative care: They work closely with other specialists to manage a child’s care before and after surgery, which includes planning and follow-up.
Perform fetal surgery: They can perform surgery on a fetus to treat abnormalities before birth.
Aspects
Specialized techniques: They often use minimally invasive approaches, sometimes with only a single incision, to reduce recovery time and scarring.
Age range: They operate on patients from the newborn stage through adolescence and sometimes into young adulthood.
Unique needs: They require specialized training to understand how children’s bodies are still growing and have exceptional medical needs that differ from those of adults.
