If your child has an illness, injury or disease that requires surgery, a paediatric surgeon
has the experience and qualifications to treat your child. Surgical problems seen by
paediatric surgeons are often quite different from those commonly seen by adult or
general surgeons. Special training in paediatric surgery is important.

Paediatric surgeons - The best care for Children. Children are not just small adults.
They cannot always say what is bothering them. They cannot always answer medical
questions, and are not always able to be patient and helpful during a medical
examination. Paediatric surgeons know how to examine and treat children in a way that
makes them relaxed and co-operative. In addition, paediatric surgeons use equipment
and facilities specifically designed for children. Most paediatric surgical officers are
arranged and decorated with children in mind. This includes the examination rooms and
waiting rooms, which may have toys, ideas and reading materials for children. This
helps create a comfortable and nonthreatening environment for your child.

If your paediatrician suggests that your child see a paediatric surgeon, you can be
assured that he or she has the widest range of treatment options, the most extensive and
complete training, and the greatest expertise in dealing with children and in treating
surgical disorders.
