Pediatric Surgery deals with the diagnosis and treatment of which diseases?

Pediatric Surgery deals with the treatment of surgical diseases in children from birth to 18 years of age. Providing service in a wide area, Pediatric Surgery provides diagnosis and treatment of head and neck region, thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity and urinary system diseases, respiratory and digestive system, inguinal region, endocrine, oncological surgery, trauma and neonatal surgical diseases.

Pediatric Surgery, in accordance with today's demands, keeps the principle of 'doing the least harm' as a guide during surgical diagnosis and treatment. In the diagnosis stage, the necessary analyzes are used from non-invasive to invasive ones, and during surgical treatment, laparoscopic, thoracoscopic, endoscopic and cystoscopic methods are used by following the rules of 'minimally invasive surgery'.
