Why does society need a Pediatric Surgeon?

CHILDREN ARE NOT SIMPLY SMALL ADULTS.
A child’s body has different medical and surgical needs from that of adults. And these needs also differ during different stages of life. A newborn needs a totally different care as compared to a small child (toddler) while a pre-school and a school-going child may have another different set of requirements.
Children suffer from different set of diseases as compared to adults, like congenital problems, which are unique to children. Examples include malformations of food pipe (like Esophageal atresia-Tracheoesophageal fistula), malformations of urinary tract (like Hypospadais), malformations of re**um and a**s (Anorectal malformations) etc.
Most of the times, the treatment strategy and the urgency of treatment vastly differ in a child as compared to adults. For example, a child with hernia will require surgical treatment on a relatively urgent basis as there are more chances of the hernia getting complicated leading to life-threatening complications, need for extensive and more complicated surgery and life-long implications on fertility. Also, children don’t require mesh insertion for hernia repair as compared to adults.
Children have less body reserves and poor immunity and rapidly deteriorate in response to infections and other disease processes requiring early surgical interventions in skin and soft tissue infections like abscess. The pus and infection formed in these cases rapidly eats up body tissues and leads to dreaded complications if not removed in time.
Also, extensive and specialized training is required for doctor to be able to treat complicated surgical problems of childhood. Different kind of set-up, infrastructure, instrumentation, anesthesia set-up and para-medical staff are required to cater to the specialized and delicate needs of children.

अकल्पनीय- 12 दिन तक बिना खाने की नली के जीवन की लड़ाई लड़ विजयी रहा नवजात शिशु
A neonate fights successfully for 12 days without food pipe.

इस महीने की 18 तारीख को श्री राम हस्पताल में 12 दिन का बच्चा आया जिसकी खाने की नली नहीं बनी थी । इस बीमारी को Esophageal Atresia with Tracheo - esophageal fistula (इसोफेजियल स्ट्रीसिया, विद् ट्रैकियो - इसोफेजियल फिस्टुला) कहते हैं। इस बीमारी में खाने की नली का ऊपर का हिस्सा बंद होता है और नीचे का हिस्सा साँस की नली से जुड़ा होता है।
इस बीमारी में पैदा होते ही बच्चे के मुँह से थूक और झाग निकलता रहता है और बच्चे को साँस लेने में दिक्कत होती है। इन बच्चो को पैदा होने के बाद तुरंत इलाज और ऑप्रेशन की आवश्यकता होती है। ये बच्चे दूध निगलने में सक्षम नहीं होते और दूध पिलाना इनके लिए जानलेवा हो सकता है। 2 या 3 दिन तक इलाज और ऑप्रेशन के अभाव में बच्चो को जानलेवा निमोनिया हो जाता है और जान चली जाती है l
ये बच्चा पैदा होने के बाद लगातार मुँह से झाग निकालता रहता था और दूध पिलाने पर उल्टी कर देता था। “बच्चे दूध निकालते ही है” ये धारणा लेकर गांव में कई दिन तक दवाई से इलाज चलता रहा और बच्चे की स्थिति बिगड़ती रही, तब बच्चे को कैथल से कुरुक्षेत्र श्री राम अस्पताल रेफर किया गया ।
प्रारंभिक जाँच और इलाज के बाद डॉक्टर अनुज भाटिया {बच्चों के सर्जन} , डॉक्टर वरुण दुआ {बच्चो की बेहोशी और गहन चिकत्सक} और डॉक्टर छाया कुमारी {बच्चों की स्पेशलिस्ट } की टीम ने बच्चे की खाने की नली का सफल ऑप्रेशन किया।
