Paediatric Surgery

Passion and expertise in treating a range of surgical conditions

Surgical problems seen by paediatric surgeons often differ from those commonly seen by adult or general surgeons. At our unit, the surgeons are supported by experienced medical professionals who are passionate about helping you and your child recover as soon as possible.

True to our promise of personalised service, our treatment plans are designed to suit the needs of your child. This includes consideration of emotional factors, information and reassurances that you and your child may need.

Unique set of skills for young patients

Paediatric surgery is a highly specialized area of medicine that focuses on the surgical care of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults, from the earliest stages of life through to the teenage years. Rather than targeting a specific organ system, paediatric surgery is defined by the patient’s age group. (Internationally, this discipline is referred to as pediatric surgery.)

At Avisena, our paediatric surgeons are trained to manage a wide range of conditions that are unique to children, with thoughtful consideration for their developmental stages and physiological differences.

Children are typically smaller and, in many cases, more delicate than adults. This calls for a completely different surgical approach that demands specialised skills. The great news is, children also recover quickly as they are constantly growing and developing.


Conditions Treated in Paediatric Surgery

Every patient receives a personalised care plan developed by a multidisciplinary team to ensure the best possible outcome. We care for a broad spectrum of conditions – from common surgical issues to rare and complex abnormalities. These include:

  • Congenital abnormalities (birth defects)
  • Developmental conditions affecting organs and growth
  • Trauma surgery for injuries caused by accidents or falls
  • Neonatal surgery for newborns with life-threatening conditions
  • Cleft lip and palate repair
  • Pyloric stenosis
  • Abdominal wall hernias
  • Undescended testes
  • Hypospadias
  • Gastroschisis

Advanced Surgical Techniques & Procedures

Our surgeons are trained in a range of advanced surgical approaches, including minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy.

These techniques help reduce post-operative discomfort, recovery time, and scarring for children.


Our specialties include:

  • Laparoscopic procedure: hernia repair, intraabdominal testis
  • VATS (Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) for empyema thoracis or lung pathology
  • Diagnostic laparoscopy
  • Laparoscopic nephroureterectomy, laparoscopic pyeloplasty
  • Laparoscopic procedure for Hirschsprung’s disease
  • Laparoscopic procedure for duodenal atresia, intussusception, splenectomy
  • Anorectal malformation repair
  • Circumcision (ritual and medical related condition)
  • Hypospadias surgery
  • Penile reconstruction/phallopexy for buried penis
  • Endoscopic procedure: therapeutic or diagnostic oesophago-gastroduodenoscopy (OGDS) or colonoscopy
  • Emergency neonatal surgery

A Multidisciplinary, Child-Focused Approach

At Avisena, we believe that paediatric surgical care should be as compassionate as it is clinically advanced. That’s why our paediatric surgeons work hand-in-hand with paediatricians, anaesthetists, nurses, therapists, and other allied health professionals to provide well-rounded care from start to finish.

With the paediatric surgeon at the centre of the care team, every child benefits from continuous support – from initial consultation and diagnosis to surgery, recovery, and rehabilitation.

Our approach ensures every child receives holistic treatment and emotional reassurance throughout their surgical journey.
