Most Common Pediatric Procedures

• Endoscopic Surgery: Pediatric surgeons use minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat gastrointestinal disorders, airway abnormalities, or urological issues.
• Electrocauterization: This procedure involves using a specialized instrument that applies heat or electricity to seal blood vessels or remove abnormal tissue. 
• Thyroid Surgery: This removes all or part of the thyroid gland in cases of thyroid nodules, goiters, or thyroid cancer.
• Laparoscopy: Laparoscopic procedures involve using small incisions and a camera to perform surgeries within the abdomen or pelvis. Pediatric surgeons perform laparoscopy for conditions like appendicitis, ovarian cysts, or diagnostic purposes.
