Paediatric CT Surgeon :
When a child or teenager has a serious problem in the heart or lungs, they must be taken to a paediatric CT surgeon. Paediatric CT surgeons spend many years studying and training to obtain the skills to operate on children. These specialists perform surgery to treat structural problems and remove unusual growths in the chest. They can provide relief from atrial and ventricular septal defects in the heart. They can also treat trauma and injuries that affect the chest. Moreover, they have the required skills to extract cancerous tumours and perform heart and lung transplants.
The qualifications of paediatric CT surgeons include MBBS, MS in General Surgery, and MCh in Cardiothoracic Surgery, followed by a fellowship in paediatric CT surgery. These specialists work closely with anaesthesiologists, paediatric cardiologists and other specialists to treat their patients. It is important to take a child to a paediatric CT surgeon if they experience tiredness, poor growth, difficulty in breathing, heart murmurs or chest infections.
