Children are not just miniature adults. They lack in their ability to convey their feelings and troubles effectively. They can not always express what bothers or scares them. This makes them unlikely to answer requisite medical questions optimally. They are not always helpful during an examination by a doctor.

Never-the-less many will need medical attention and surgical intervention to keep them healthy. Many children are born with certain conditions called congenital abnormalities, due to which certain body functions are affected. Few of these are sometimes picked up on routine antenatal visits and scans. Such children need an expert hand to cure them.

Pediatric Surgeons are familiar with all these issues and know how to examine and handle such children in a manner which makes them relax and cooperate. They help to create a comfortable environment for your child while expertly assessing the his/her condition. They are trained to handle tiny kids in a nonthreatening manner. They are capable of handling widest range of treatment options for these children, unlike an adult General Surgeon. They have received extensive training and have great expertise to deal with children, right from premature newborns to teenagers.
