The pediatric surgery department at L’Abbraccio Children’s Hospital provides surgical care for children, ensuring that procedures are tailored to their age and specific needs.
In addition to the hospital’s medical services, this department provides a practical and safe solution for conditions requiring surgical treatment, thereby helping to improve children’s prognosis and quality of life.
The department treats:
- common pediatric surgical conditions
- pediatric surgical emergencies
- congenital malformations amenable to surgical correction
- minor and moderate surgical procedures
- pre- and post-operative care for patients
We pay particular attention to:
- the safety of surgical procedures
- adapting protocols to pediatric-specific needs
- pain management in children
- prevention of postoperative infections
- supporting families before and after surgery
The department works in close coordination with pediatrics, neonatology, and other hospital units to ensure comprehensive and continuous patient care.
The department also benefits from regular international surgical missions, developed through long-standing collaborations with specialized teams, particularly in Italy and Canada, which help strengthen local expertise and expand the range of care available.
