What Paediatric Surgery covers

Conditions treated
  • hernias in babies and children
  • undescended testis
  • appendicitis in children
  • foreskin problems
  • congenital problems of the gut and chest
  • lumps and birthmarks needing removal
When to see one instead of a GP
Children's operations sit with paediatric surgeons rather than adult general surgeons — the anatomy, the drug doses and the anaesthesia all differ. Most referrals come from a paediatrician, or after a routine check picks something up.
Do you need a referral?
No referral needed privately, though a paediatrician's note helps. Bring the child's immunisation record and any ultrasound already done.
