Pediatric surgery

Pediatric surgery draws its particularity from the great variety of pathologies of surgical interest in the pediatric population, from children born prematurely to adolescents. It is separated into two disciplines: pediatric visceral surgery and pediatric orthopedics.

PEDIATRIC VISCERAL SURGERY

It concerns the urinary, digestive and thorax systems.

Urological pathology concerns the kidney (total nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy of dual systems, etc.), the upper urinary tract (cure of syndromes of the pyelo-ureteral junction, surgery of the ureter, endo-urology, etc.), surgery of the bladder (vesico-ureteral reimplantation and endo-urology, etc.) and the external genital organs (surgery of the hypospadias, of the testicle,etc. ).

The digestive aspect concerns esophageal pathology (oesophageal atresia), gastric (anti-reflux surgery), hepatobiliary (biliary atresia, bile duct cyst, etc.)), intestinal (appendectomy, bowel or colic atresia, bowel volvulus, acute intestinal intussusception) without omitting the very frequent surgery of the inguinal hernia by persistence of the peritoneal-vaginal canal.

The approach of the thorax allows the realization of lobectomy, tumorectomy…

PEDIATRIC ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY

Pediatric orthopedics deals with scoliosis surgery, upper limb and lower limb. Hand surgery falls within the competence of the pediatric orthopedist.

PEDIATRIC PLASTIC SURGERY “the 3rd discipline”

Pediatric plastic surgery is intended for newborns, young children and adolescents with congenital anomalies of the skin, head and neck and limbs, but also for acquired anomalies of the skin tissues of traumatic or tumoral origin.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery

Reconstructive surgery

Reconstructive surgery corrects certain congenital or acquired deformities (after a trauma, a surgical resection for cancer, a burn for example). It allows the treatment of the following pathologies or interventions :

  • Breast reconstruction after cancer,
  • After-effects of burns and accidents (scars and loss of substance),
  • Ulcers and bed sores.

Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery allows the treatment of the following pathologies or interventions :

  • Breast pathologies (breast hypertrophy, breast deformity, breast asymmetry, benign breast tumor…),
  • Belly surgery (abdominoplasty),
  • Thigh lift (cruroplasty), arm lift (brachioplasty),
  • Surgery of benign or malignant skin and soft tissue tumors (muscular and connective tissue) (children and adults),
  • Surgery for protruding ears (otoplasty).
Thoracic surgery

Thoracic surgery includes all pathologies affecting the lung, pleura, mediastinum, trachea and chest wall.

It supports tracheobronchial, pulmonary, mediastinal, pleural, parietal pathologies whether they are of benign or malignant tumor origin, progressive or sequella infectious, or malformative .

Among the thoracic surgeries:

  • Tracheal surgery (carina, ECMO);
  • Surgery for thoracic deformities;
  • Lung volume reduction surgery;
  • Thorax reconstructive surgery and thoracomyoplasties.
Vascular surgery

Vascular surgery treats diseases of the arteries, veins and vessels of the chest, arms and legs. The arteries of the neck (carotids), the abdominal aorta, as well as the superficial (varicose veins) and deep venous network of the lower limbs are concerned in priority. Vascular surgery can repair a narrowing – thickening of the atherosclerotic plaque, due to excess cholesterol –, a continuous or very localized dilation (aneurysm) or an obstruction, stenosis or thrombosis affecting arteries and veins.

After radiological exploration, the vascular surgeon uses, in association or not with a drug treatment, two main ways of intervention:

  • Endovascular treatment: The instruments are introduced through the interior of a vein or an artery to perform angioplasty, for example (dilation of an artery, placement of an endoprosthesis, etc.);
  • Conventional open surgery: Either it intervenes in a conventional way if the lesion is large or located beyond the reach of the endovascular process, to perform a bypass for example.

Between the two, new so-called minimally invasive surgery techniques are being developed, allowing an intervention with a very small entry point, thereby reducing the duration of remission, complications and the risk of residual scarring.

Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery allows the treatment of the following pathologies or interventions :

  • The herniated disc
  • Pituitary adenoma
  • Hydrocephalus
  • Head trauma
  • Trauma to the spine with vertebral fractures
  • Brain and cerebellum tumor
  • Intramedullary tumor
  • Intracranial aneurysm
  • Meningeal hemorrhage
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Peripheral nerve surgery
  • Craniopharyngioma
  • Neurofibromatosis
  • Surgical treatment of cerebral ischemia
  • Hyperacusis
  • Pediatric neurosurgery
  • Craniocerebral and extraparenchymal tumors
  • Spinal and spinal cord injuries and nerve wounds
  • Non-traumatic radiculo-medullary pathologies
  • Cerebral vascular malformations.
