Paediatric Surgery caters to the surgical needs from while the baby is still in the warmth of its mother’s womb, through its neonatal and infancy period, till it is grown up enough to walk off into adolescence. The Paediatric surgeon looks into all aspects of the child’s surgical complaints including thoracic, gastro-intestinal, hepato-biliary, urological malignancies, paediatric trauma, burns and congenital malformations of the neonate. The surgeon while operating with extreme precision and finesse on a newborn baby tries to restore it to as normal as possible. The care also involves counselling of expectant mothers of foetus with surgical problems, allaying their fears regarding their babies, discussing with them the various treatment options including the prognosis of the baby.
