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

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.
