How does a pediatric surgeon differ from a general surgeon?

  • Pediatric surgeons perform surgeries exclusively on children, dealing with conditions specific to their age group, including foetus surgery in the mother's womb for neonates, infants, children and adolescents. 
  • A general surgeon performs surgical procedures on adults, treating conditions like hernias, appendicitis, and gastrointestinal issues, covering various medical conditions.

What is the most common pediatric surgical problem?

There is no single most common surgical problem. However, some of the common pediatric surgical problems are:

  • Appendicitis
  • Placement of ear tubes
  • Hernia repairs
  • Fracture repairs
  • Congenital heart defects
  • Clubfoot

How long is the recovery period after pediatric surgery?

The usual recovery in surgical procedures is 1-2 weeks. The recovery period may also vary depending upon -

  • Type of surgery
  • The degree of complexity of the procedure
  • The patient's general health condition at the time of surgery
