Children are not ‘little adults’, more so when they require surgical interventionas. In the context, Pediatric Surgery is the speciality that provides holistic care to children with surgical problems, from newborn to adolescents. Parents are often apprehensive about their little ones tolerating surgery, anasthesia, and associated procedures,
and therefore, postpone seeking advice. It is reassuring that in recent times, all operative procedures in children are supported by professionals capable of managing children e.g. pediatricians and neonatologists, anesthetists, nutritionists, physiotherapists etc.
Pediatric Surgeons are well adopted in handling fine surgeries in babies. They are experts in managing the ‘child with a surgical problem’.
