Paediatric Surgery

Children have a different physiology than adults, which requires a skilled expert to carry out surgical interventions. Paediatric surgery is a subspecialty of surgery referring to surgical procedures conducted to treat foetuses, children, infants, adolescents, and young adults. Surgeons who carry out these procedures are called paediatric surgeons.

At Medcy Hospitals, our paediatric surgeons are highly trained professionals who treat various conditions in children through surgery, ensuring the best possible outcomes for young patients. They are well-versed in child physiology and psychology to make sure they can communicate with children effectively, putting them at ease before, during and after the procedure. Paediatric surgeons also look after the diagnosis and post-operative care of young patients.

Types of Paediatric Surgeries

Children may need surgery for various reasons, such as congenital abnormalities, significant injuries, cancer treatment, and other conditions. These surgical procedures aim to address paediatric illnesses in children and teenagers.

Common surgeries performed by paediatric surgeons include:

General Paediatric Surgery

General paediatric surgery involves surgical treatment for common non-specialised conditions for children who do not need complex perioperative care. This includes routine procedures such as hernia repairs, appendectomies, treatment for gastrointestinal and thoracic conditions, and so on.

Paediatric ENT Surgery

Paediatric ENT surgeons specialise in treating various ear, nose, and throat conditions in children. Their scope of procedures ranges from common tonsillectomies and adenoidectomies to more complex airway reconstruction surgeries.

Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgery

Paediatric surgeons specialising in musculoskeletal issues treat muscle, bone, and joint problems in children and adolescents. They aim to ensure proper growth and development while effectively treating conditions such as fractures, scoliosis, and sports-related injuries.

Appendectomy

Appendectomy is a common surgical procedure which is performed to remove an infected or inflamed appendix. In some cases, emergency surgery may be necessary if the appendix ruptures.

Paediatric Oncology

Paediatric oncology is a medical speciality that specifically deals with diagnosing and treating cancer in newborns, children, and young adults. Children diagnosed with cancer, such as liver and kidney cancer, lung tumours, adrenal cancer, sarcomas, and more, undergo surgery to remove the cancer from the body.

Paediatric Neurosurgery

Paediatric neurosurgery is a specialised field of surgery that focuses on treating neurological disorders in children. This includes surgical procedures for the nervous system, brain, and spinal cord. The goal is to provide the best possible chance for recovery and development in children with operable neurological conditions.

Congenital Disabilities

Many congenital disabilities can affect a child’s ability to grow and develop properly. Malformed lungs, kidneys, and hearts are the most common conditions requiring surgical intervention. The surgeon may have to reconstruct the affected organ and then recommend medication to support the ongoing treatment.

Paediatric Urological Surgery

Paediatric urology procedures are essential for treating urological conditions among children. These conditions are usually congenital and require surgical intervention to ensure healthy kidney and urinary tract function among children.
