Pediatric surgeons are specialists in using Thoracic Surgery to address a wide range of problems. Major thoracic surgery can be conducted through tiny incisions with the help of a video camera and magnification lens, and the vast majority of surgeries can be performed utilizing minimally invasive techniques.
This means reduced discomfort and scarring, as well as a quicker recovery. Furthermore, our Pediatric Thoracic Surgeon in Pune – Dr. Vishesh Dikshit who offers comprehensive treatment for Pediatric thoracic surgery in Pune collaborates closely with our pediatric anesthesiologists, who use localized blockades for long-term pain control to reduce the need for opioids in young patients after surgery.
Pediatric surgeons have the advanced skills necessary to perform a wide range of operations such as :
- Congenital lung abnormalities such as congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM), sequestration, and bronchogenic cysts
- Repair of a congenital esophageal abnormality in a baby
- Draining infections from the chest in a child with pneumonia and empyema
