What is Pediatric Surgery?
Pediatric surgery focuses on providing surgical care for children at all stages of development, up to 18 years of age. A pediatric surgeon creates personalized diagnostic and treatment plans, conducts preoperative evaluations, and monitors the patient’s recovery. They work closely with parents, who are typically responsible for the child’s care, offering guidance, instructions, and counselling throughout the surgical process.
