Pediatric Surgery

Pediatric surgery is a surgical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of surgical conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. It includes a broad range of procedures, from simple outpatient surgeries to complex, multi-stage surgeries.

There are numerous surgical diseases that can affect children, and the specific conditions that require surgery will depend on many factors, including the child's age, overall health, and medical history. Some of the most common pediatric surgical diseases include:

1. Appendicitis: Inflammation and infection of the appendix, which is a small, finger-shaped organ attached to the large intestine.
2. Inguinal hernia: A condition in which part of the intestine or other abdominal tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles and into the groin.
3. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia: A condition in which a hole in the diaphragm allows abdominal organs to move up into the chest, interfering with lung development.
4. Pyloric stenosis: A condition in which the muscle at the bottom of the stomach narrows, causing vomiting and dehydration.
5. Intestinal obstruction: A blockage in the intestine that can cause abdominal pain, vomiting, and constipation.
6. Hydrocephalus: A condition in which there is an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, which can cause pressure and swelling.
7. Choledochal cysts: A congenital abnormality of the bile ducts that can cause pain, jaundice, and infection.
8. Esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula: A congenital abnormality in which the esophagus and trachea are not properly separated, which can cause feeding difficulties and respiratory distress.
9. Imperforate anus: A congenital abnormality in which the anus does not form properly, causing difficulty with bowel movements.
10. Wilms tumor: A type of kidney cancer that occurs in children.
