About this service
Surgery for children
Paediatric surgeons assess conditions in infants and children that may need a surgical procedure. They work in a different specialty from routine paediatric medicine.
Types of consultation
Abdominal, groin, congenital and other surgical concerns may need examination and investigation. Whether a procedure is suitable is decided after assessment by a qualified paediatric surgical team.
Preparing for an appointment
Bring earlier scans, treatment records and the child's age and medical history. Discuss admission, anaesthesia and postoperative follow-up with the surgical team.
Emergency advice
Severe abdominal pain, repeated vomiting with distension or other serious symptoms require prompt medical assessment.
