Pediatric Surgery
Pediatric surgery is a special area of medicine that focuses on operations for babies, children, and teenagers. Pediatric surgeons have special training to take care of the unique needs of young patients, making sure they get the best care possible.
Common Pediatric Surgical Procedures
Heart Defects
-
Causes :
These are problems with the heart that babies are born with. They can happen because of genetic reasons or things that happen during pregnancy.
-
Surgeries :
Doctors perform surgeries to fix these heart problems, helping kids live healthier lives.
Intestinal Blockages
-
Causes :
Some babies are born with parts of their intestines missing or blocked. This happens due to issues during development in the womb.
-
Surgeries :
Surgeons remove the blockages so the intestines can work properly, allowing the child to digest food normally.
Cleft Lip and Palate
-
Causes :
These are openings in the lip or roof of the mouth that don't close properly during pregnancy. They can be caused by genetic factors or things like smoking during pregnancy.
-
Surgeries :
Operations fix these openings, improving the child's ability to eat, speak, and smile.
Pyloric Stenosis
-
Causes :
This condition, where the opening from the stomach to the small intestine thickens and blocks food, usually develops in infants. The exact cause isn't clear but may involve genetics.
-
Surgeries :
A surgery called pyloromyotomy widens the opening, allowing normal feeding.
Undescended Testicles
-
Causes :
This happens when one or both testicles don't move into the scrotum before birth. It can be related to premature birth or family history.
-
Surgeries :
Surgeons perform a procedure to move the testicle into the right place, which helps prevent future problems.
Appendicitis
-
Causes :
This is an inflammation of the appendix and is a common emergency in children. It can be caused by infection or blockage.
-
Surgeries :
The appendix is removed to prevent it from bursting and causing serious infections.
