Pediatric Thoracic Surgery
Pediatric Thoracic Surgery
Our pediatric thoracic surgery unit specializes in the surgical treatment of conditions affecting the chest and lungs in children. We are dedicated to providing expert care for a variety of thoracic issues, focusing on both congenital and acquired conditions to ensure the best outcomes for our young patients.
Conditions We Treat
Our pediatric thoracic surgery team is dedicated to managing a diverse range of thoracic conditions in children, providing specialized care to address both congenital and acquired issues affecting the chest and lungs. Here’s an overview of the conditions we treat:
- Congenital Lung Anomalies: We address birth defects such as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) and bronchopulmonary sequestration. These conditions can impair lung development and function, making early surgical intervention crucial. Our goal is to correct these anomalies to ensure proper lung growth and functionality.
- Tracheal and Esophageal Malformations: We treat abnormalities like tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) and esophageal atresia, where there are abnormal connections or blockages in the trachea and esophagus. Surgical intervention is essential to restore normal function, allowing the child to eat and breathe comfortably without complications.
- Pediatric Tumors: Our team performs surgery to remove both benign and malignant tumors in the chest, such as neuroblastomas and thymomas. We focus on effectively addressing these tumors while preserving normal lung and chest function to minimize the impact on the child’s overall health.
- Pleural and Mediastinal Conditions: We manage conditions affecting the pleural space (the lining around the lungs) and the mediastinum (the central area of the chest). This includes treating pleural effusions (fluid buildup) and mediastinal masses. Our approach aims to relieve symptoms and restore normal thoracic function.
- Chest Wall Deformities: We correct deformities like pectus excavatum (sunken chest) and pectus carinatum (protruding chest) through both minimally invasive and open surgical techniques. Our goal is to improve both the appearance and function of the chest.
- Trauma and Injury: We provide surgical care for chest trauma, including rib fractures and injuries to the lungs or other thoracic structures. Our team offers both emergency and elective surgical treatments to ensure optimal recovery and function.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
We utilize cutting-edge techniques and technology to provide the most effective care:
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: Employing laparoscopic and thoracoscopic methods to perform surgeries through small incisions, reducing recovery time and minimizing scarring.
- Endoscopic Procedures: Using advanced endoscopic tools to diagnose and treat thoracic conditions with precision and minimal invasiveness.
- Comprehensive Post-Surgical Care: Providing thorough follow-up care to monitor recovery, manage any potential complications, and support overall health and well-being.
