Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
PEDIATRIC SCOLIOSIS CORRECTION SURGERY
Scoliosis refers to an abnormal curvature of the spine occurring during childhood or adolescence that can progress without treatment. Severe spinal deformities may require corrective surgery to prevent complications related to posture and lung function.
- Causation & Signs: Most cases idiopathic but some linked to neuromuscular disorders; signs include uneven shoulders/hips or visible spinal curve.
- Evidential Procedures:
PEDIATRIC CLEFT LIP AND PALATE REPAIR
Cleft lip and palate are congenital deformities affecting facial structure that can impact feeding, speech development, hearing, and dental health. Surgical repair plays a vital role in restoring function and appearance during early childhood.
- Etiology and Signs: Caused by incomplete fusion of facial tissues during fetal development; visually evident at birth with gaps in upper lip or roof of mouth.
- Diagnostic Evaluation: Confirmed on physical examination; additional assessments include speech evaluation and hearing tests as child grows.
- Surgical Intervention: Initial lip repair typically performed within first few months; palate repair is usually completed before 18 months for optimal speech outcomes.
- A Multidisciplinary Approach: Involving surgeons, speech therapists, audiologists, orthodontists for comprehensive care over years.
- Lifelong Follow-up: Necessary to address dental alignment issues and support psychosocial development through adolescence.
Surgical correction significantly improves feeding efficiency, speech clarity, facial aesthetics, and social integration. Early intervention maximizes developmental potential for affected children.
PEDIATRIC APPENDECTOMY
Appendicitis is a common emergency in children involving inflammation of the appendix. When diagnosed promptly, surgical removal—appendectomy—is the definitive treatment to prevent complications.
- Symptoms and Causes: Usually caused by blockage in the appendix leading to infection; presents as abdominal pain starting near the navel then localizing to lower right abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and fever.
- Diagnosis: Physical exam findings plus imaging such as ultrasound or CT scan confirm appendicitis in children.
- Treatment Approach: Laparoscopic appendectomy is preferred for its minimal invasiveness; open surgery may be necessary if perforation has occurred.
- Post-operative Management: Pain control, antibiotics if perforation detected, gradual resumption of diet and activity.
- Recovery Expectations: Most children recover quickly within 1-2 weeks and return to normal activities.
A timely appendectomy prevents serious complications like abscess formation or peritonitis. Early evaluation is crucial when these symptoms arise in a child.
PEDIATRIC CONGENITAL HEART SURGERY
Congenital heart defects are structural problems with the heart present at birth, requiring specialized surgical intervention in many cases. These surgeries aim to correct or alleviate the heart anomalies to improve function and quality of life for affected children.
- Causes and Symptoms: Often due to abnormal fetal heart development; symptoms may include cyanosis, rapid breathing, poor feeding, or failure to thrive.
- Diagnosis: Typically identified via echocardiogram, chest X-ray, ECG, or cardiac MRI during infancy or early childhood.
- Treatment Options: Surgical repair varies depending on defect type—some require open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass; others may involve catheter-based interventions.
- Management: Post-operative care involves monitoring heart function and preventing complications such as infections or arrhythmias.
- Expectations: With timely surgery, many children achieve good outcomes and can lead active lives, though lifelong cardiology follow-up is often recommended.
The advances in pediatric cardiac surgery have significantly increased survival rates and quality of life for children born with heart defects. Early recognition and appropriate referral are critical to optimal care.
