Pediatric Surgery
Overview
Children are not “miniature adults,” especially when they require surgical interventions. Pediatric Surgery is a specialized field that provides holistic care to children with surgical problems, from newborns to adolescents. Unlike adults, children need special attention because illness and surgical interventions can impact their growth and development. Developmental abnormalities, sometimes associated with other organ defects, require early detection, evaluation, and management even if they are not immediately apparent.
Parents often feel apprehensive about surgery, anesthesia, and related procedures in their children. At Kiran Hospital, all operative procedures in children are supported by pediatricians, neonatologists, anesthetists, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and other professionals to ensure safe, comprehensive care. Pediatric surgeons focus on managing “the child with a surgical problem,” not just the surgical problem itself. Many conditions involve internal structural or functional deficiencies that may require counseling, planned evaluation after birth, and timely surgical intervention.
At Kiran Hospital, the Pediatric Surgery Department operates full-time with round-the-clock availability of pediatric surgical expertise and advanced infrastructure.
