Surgeon

A doctor who deals with surgical treatment of children from birth until the age of 14 is called a pediatric surgeon. His responsibilities include conducting consultations, making a diagnosis, prescribing and conducting surgical intervention, and following up the rehabilitation process of the operated child.

When to contact a pediatric surgeon

What symptoms and signs should be the reason for contacting a pediatric surgeon?

  • sharp pains in the tummy;
  • injuries of a different nature;
  • violation or restriction in the movements of the arms or legs;
  • nail ingrowth;
  • inflammatory processes in the soft tissues;
  • in boys: the presence of an empty scrotum, or a difference in size;
  • the appearance of neoplasms;
  • symptoms of inguinal or umbilical hernia;
  • signs of dropsy of the testicle, when one or two halves of the scrotum increase in size;
  • signs of balanoposthitis - inflammation of the foreskin due to synechia (fusion);
  • signs of phimosis - the inability to open the glans penis;
  • the phenomenon of cryptorchidism (undescended testicle in the scrotum);
  • testicular torsions or hydatids (testicular fat suspension);
  • inflammatory processes in the testis and epididymis;
  • sudden bouts of nausea and vomiting;
  • the presence of chronic constipation in the child, accompanied by soreness.

If suspicious symptoms are found in a child, do not delay visiting a doctor. Sometimes timely consultation can help cure the disease without resorting to surgery.

What tests should be taken when contacting a pediatric surgeon

In the event that you are leading your child for a consultation, preliminary tests are not required. If necessary, the doctor himself will prescribe studies.

If your baby is being prepared for surgery, there is a standard list of necessary tests, which can be supplemented by the attending pediatric surgeon, depending on the reason for the surgical intervention. The standard list of studies includes:

  • conducting a general analysis of blood and urine;
  • blood donation for HIV infection;
  • blood for the Wasserman reaction;
  • blood for hepatitis B and C;
  • electrocardiography;
  • consultation of a cardiologist and pediatrician.

A complete list of required tests must be obtained from your doctor.

What diseases does a pediatric surgeon treat?

A pediatric surgeon can provide emergency assistance in the treatment of diseases and traumatic complications that threaten the health and life of the child. In such situations, emergency surgery is performed:

  • on the opening of abscesses;
  • regarding infringement of a hernia;
  • to eliminate complications after injuries;
  • with acute appendicitis, adhesions in the intestines, the development of peritonitis;
  • regarding the removal of a foreign object;
  • with significant bleeding;
  • in the presence of a purulent inflammatory process, etc.

In addition to emergency cases, a pediatric surgeon conducts planned treatment of diseases.

A pediatric surgeon recommends that parents watch their child in order to notice changes in his behavior in a timely manner associated with poor health, pain, and organ dysfunction.

Do not be afraid to bring your child to the surgeon for advice. A visit to this specialist does not mean that the baby will have to do any operation. A pediatric surgeon is competent in the treatment of various surgical diseases conservatively, if possible.
