What is Pediatric Surgery?

Lung, esophagus, digestive system (stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas), excretory system (kidneys, bladder and other urinary ducts), reproductive system, which are seen in childhood from birth to 18 years of age. It is the department that deals with diseases of the organs that require surgery (ovaries in girls, ovaries in boys).

The treatment of diseases in children, who have a constantly changing and developing structure from infancy to adolescence, has significant differences compared to adults. For this reason, children should not be considered as miniatures of adults. There are treatment principles specific to each period of childhood.
