What is Neonatal and Pediatric Surgery?
Neonatal and pediatric surgery is a medical specialty that involves surgical interventions for newborns, children, and adolescents. Unlike adult surgery, pediatric surgery requires specialized knowledge and expertise to address the unique physiological and developmental needs of children. Pediatric surgeons are trained to handle a wide range of conditions that require surgical intervention, from congenital defects to injuries and more.
Conditions We Treat
Our pediatric surgeons are equipped to treat a variety of conditions, including:
- Congenital Malformations: Surgical correction of birth defects, such as cleft lip and palate, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and esophageal atresia (a condition where the esophagus is not fully developed).
- Gastrointestinal Conditions: Treatment for conditions like intestinal obstruction, appendicitis, hernia, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children.
- Respiratory Conditions: Surgical interventions for issues like tracheoesophageal fistula (abnormal connection between the windpipe and esophagus), lung malformations, and asthma complications.
- Genitourinary Conditions: Treatment for hypospadias (a birth defect affecting the urethra in boys), undescended testes, vesicoureteral reflux, and other urinary tract issues.
- Orthopedic Conditions: Surgical treatments for clubfoot, hip dysplasia, and skeletal deformities that may require orthopedic intervention.
- Cancers and Tumors: Removal of benign and malignant tumors affecting children, such as neuroblastoma and Wilms’ tumor (a type of kidney cancer).
- Trauma Surgery: Emergency surgeries for traumatic injuries from accidents, falls, or other causes.
- Neonatal Surgeries: Specialized care for premature infants or newborns with life-threatening conditions such as necrotizing enterocolitis or intestinal perforation.
