Paediatric Surgery deals with surgical care for foetuses, infants and children to 18 years of age. A paediatric surgeon develops the best treatment plan for the patient, conducts preoperative examinations and preparations, and follows up on the patient's progress as part of the post-surgical care. They work closely with the patient's guardians and/or parents responsible for most of the care. They may provide instructions and counselling and even refer them to support groups or other professionals who can help manage the child's illness.
There are several areas of expertise in paediatric surgery. Prenatal surgery deals with foetuses or unborn children. Some conditions can be determined through ultrasounds and other examinations that can be performed on pregnant women. These tests are also often part of routine maternal and foetal care. A paediatric surgeon specialising in this field usually works closely with sonographers and radiologists. The other area of expertise is called neonatal surgery, which focuses on babies (both full-term or premature) who require surgical procedures- typically to correct a congenital abnormality that may prevent them from growing up normally or may be life-threatening. Meanwhile, paediatric oncosurgery is a subspecialty of paediatric surgery that includes managing cancer-related cases. Just like in adults, surgery is often the first line of treatment, particularly if there is a malignant tumour or mass that may not have spread to other nearby organs. Some paediatric surgeons specialise in trauma or injuries that result from accidents or violence. They often work with children who require emergency care and are suffering from trauma.
