About Paediatric Surgery

What Is Paediatric Surgery?
Paediatric surgery is a branch of surgery focused on diagnosing and treating surgical disorders affecting newborns, children, and adolescents. Children are not merely young adults. Their bodies are still in the development stage and require unique surgical procedures to treat various medical conditions. A paediatric surgeon treats congenital disorders in infants and conditions that occur later in childhood.

Conditions That Require Paediatric Surgery
Numerous diseases in young individuals demand surgical treatment, such as: - 

• Dhibaatooyinka lagu dhasho
• Hernias and Hydroceles
• xiidmaha oo xidhma
• Xiniinyaha aan hoos loo dhigin
• Cudurka loo yaqaan 'appendicitis'
• Cudurka Hirschsprung
• Malformed anus or rectum
• Congenital gastrointestinal disorder
• Hypospadias and other urogenital health problems
• Cysts and lumps
• Injuries or burns 

Age Groups We Treat

Surgical Care for Newborns, Children and Adolescents
Surgical conditions in children may be detected during pregnancy, in infancy, or later in childhood. Planning is based on the child's age, maturity, development, and health. In cases of serious medical conditions in newborns, coordination with neonatology and intensive care specialists is necessary before and after the surgical procedure. 

When possible, minimally invasive technologies (laparoscopic surgery) are utilised. The importance of minimally invasive surgery lies in the use of specialised instruments and small incisions. The paediatric surgeon assesses the child and shares the best option with the family.
