Pediatric Digestive Surgeries
Pediatric digestive surgeries are typically performed by pediatric surgeons who specialize in the surgical treatment of children. These procedures may be performed using traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy. The type of surgery performed will depend on the specific condition being treated and the age and overall health of the child.
Pediatric digestive surgeries refer to surgical procedures performed on children to treat various conditions related to the digestive system. Here are some common pediatric digestive surgeries:
Appendectomy: This surgery involves removing the appendix and is typically performed in cases of appendicitis, which is a common condition in children.
Fundoplication: This is a surgical procedure that is performed to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is a condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and other symptoms. Fundoplication involves wrapping the upper part of the stomach around the lower esophagus to strengthen the valve that separates the two organs.
Intestinal resection: This is a surgery that involves removing a section of the intestine. It may be performed to treat conditions such as Crohn’s disease, which is an inflammatory bowel disease that can affect children.
Ostomy: An ostomy is a surgical procedure that involves creating an opening in the abdomen to allow waste to leave the body. It may be necessary in cases where a child has a blockage in the intestine, or if a section of the intestine needs to be removed.
Pyloromyotomy: This is a surgical procedure that is performed to treat pyloric stenosis, which is a condition in which the muscle at the bottom of the stomach thickens and prevents food from passing into the small intestine. Pyloromyotomy involves making a small incision in the muscle to allow food to pass through.
Liver biopsy: This is a procedure that involves removing a small piece of tissue from the liver to be examined under a microscope. It may be performed to diagnose liver disease in children.
Colostomy: This is a surgical procedure that is performed to create an opening in the abdominal wall to allow waste to leave the body. It may be necessary in cases where a child has a blockage in the colon, or if a section of the colon needs to be removed.
