DOCTORS' DIRECTORY

If your child has injury, illness or disease that requires surgical intervention, a paediatric surgeon is the right professional to seek help to.

Surgical health problems seen by paediatric surgeons are quite different from those commonly seen by general surgeons. These surgeons diagnose, manage and treat children’s surgical needs, including:

• Major injuries requiring surgery (e.g. knife wounds, liver lacerations, gun shot wounds)
• Endoscopic procedures
• Surgical repair of birth defects
• Surgery for abnormalities in the groin area, including hernia, varicoceles, hydroceles and undescended testes
• Diagnosis and surgical treatment of tumours
• Transplant surgeries
• All other surgical operations for children.

If your paediatrician recommends seeing a paediatric surgeon, it’s a guarantee that this expert has the best treatment options, the greatest expertise and the widest experience in dealing with your child’s health.
