Pediatric surgery
Pediatric surgery involves the surgical treatment of a wide range of pediatric diseases from infancy to young adulthood, from top to toe. It includes abdominal, thoracic, urological, hand surgery therapies, as well as minor interventions such as the treatment of moles and inflammatory nail diseases. The child should not be treated as a small adult. They have different illnesses, different responses to interventions, a different healing capacity, and very different needs. With the proliferation of minimally invasive surgery in pediatric surgery, most body cavity surgeries are performed by video endoscopy instead of the earlier open, exploratory surgery, which results in less stress and pain, and significantly better aesthetic results.
