Paediatric General Surgery: Hernia, Hydrocele, Circumcision, Lumps and Bumps

Paediatric general surgery treatment in Bangalore

Paediatric General Surgery is a surgical speciality that treats conditions in children that require surgical intervention. Examples of common paediatric general surgery procedures include hernia repair, hydrocele surgery, circumcision, and removal of lumps and bumps.

Hernias occur when there is a weak spot in the abdominal wall through which an organ or tissue can bulge. Hydroceles are fluid-filled sacs that develop around the testicles. Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin from the penis. Lumps and bumps are common in children and can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Book an appointment to have the best treatment.

Paediatric general surgeons are specially trained to care for children of all ages, from newborns to adolescents. They understand the unique surgical and psychological needs of children and their families.

Pre-procedure 

It is important to follow the pre-operative instructions given to you by your child's surgeon. These instructions are designed to ensure your child's safety and to minimise the risk of complications during and after surgery.

In general, you will be asked to:

  • Withhold food and fluids from your child for a period of time before surgery

  • Bathe your child with a special soap

  • Apply a special ointment to your child's skin

  • Refrain from smoking or using tobacco products

  • Avoid giving your child any medications, including over-the-counter medications, herbal supplements, and vitamins, unless specifically instructed to do so by the surgeon.

It is important that you follow these instructions carefully. If you have any questions, please be sure to ask the surgeon or a member of the surgical team.

Procedure 

The procedure for paediatric general surgery usually involves a small incision being made in the child’s abdomen. The surgeon will then insert a small telescope called a laparoscope into the child’s abdomen. This allows the surgeon to see the internal organs and look for any abnormalities. The surgeon may also take a biopsy, which is a small sample of tissue, during this procedure. Visit Manipal Hospitals for paediatric surgery treatment in Bangalore for the best treatment

If the child has a hernia, the surgeon will repair it by sewing the hole in the abdominal wall closed. If the child has a hydrocele, the surgeon will drain the fluid from the sac and may also need to remove the sac. If the child is being circumcised, the surgeon will remove the foreskin from the penis. If the child has a lump or bump, the surgeon will remove it and send it to a laboratory for analysis.

Post-procedure

After a paediatric general surgery procedure, the child will usually be able to go home the same day. There are a few things that need to be done to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.

  • First, it is important to keep the area clean and dry. The dressing should be changed daily and any stitches should be kept dry. It is also important to give the child pain relief as needed.

  • Second, the child should be encouraged to move around as much as possible to prevent stiffness and promote healing.

  • The child should be given a high-fibre diet to avoid constipation.

  • Any signs of infection should be reported to the doctor immediately.

  • Finally, follow-up appointments should be made as instructed by the doctor.
