Paediatric surgeons are medical doctors who specialize in the surgical treatment of children, from newborns to teenagers. They are trained to diagnose, treat, and manage a range of surgical conditions affecting children, including congenital anomalies (birth defects), cancers, injuries, infections, and other diseases.
Paediatric surgeons work closely with other medical professionals, such as pediatricians, anesthesiologists, radiologists, and other specialists to ensure the best possible outcomes for their patients. They may perform a variety of surgical procedures, such as repairing birth defects, removing tumors, treating trauma-related injuries, and transplanting organs.
In addition to performing surgery, paediatric surgeons also provide pre-operative and post-operative care, including monitoring patients before and after surgery, prescribing medications, and providing follow-up care to ensure proper healing and recovery. They are also involved in research and education to advance the field of paediatric surgery and improve outcomes for children in need of surgical care.
