Paediatric surgery is the surgical specialty where doctors have focused their training to operate on babies, children and adolescents up to the age of 16. Children are not just small adults and they might not be able to explain what is bothering them. They can be scared during a medical examination; paediatric surgeons know how to examine and treat children in a way that makes them feel relaxed, safe, and at ease. Some of the conditions that we treat include:
- Inguinal herniae and hydroceles
- Undescended testes
- Umbilical herniae
- Skin and subcutaneous lesions
- Preputial conditions including phimosis requiring circumcision
- Tongue tie
