Pediatric General and Thoracic Surgery
Pediatric General and Thoracic surgery is the surgical treatment of illnesses or injuries affecting parts of the body between the neck and the abdomen, encompassing a variety of congenital and acquired conditions. Many such procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques, where the surgeon makes tiny incisions with the aid of a video camera and magnifying telescope. This approach reduces pain and scarring and can provide quicker recovery.
