A wide range and round-the-clock availability of diagnostic equipment (ultrasound, CT, MRI) and the capabilities of the EMC laboratory, where expressTests for most infections are performed within an hour, allowing doctors to make a diagnosis as soon as possible and immediately begin treatment.
How are children's surgeries performed?
EMC pediatric surgery is characterized by the widespread use of minimally invasive technologies. Pediatric operations, including emergency ones, are most often performed by laparoscopic or thoracoscopic method, which guarantees minimal incisions (1-2 cm) and minor tissue damage. These technologies can significantly reduce pain and the duration of the recovery period after surgery. After the operation and the rehabilitation period, the pediatric surgeon can send for massage, therapeutic and preventive physiotherapy procedures, and therapeutic gymnastics.
The intensive care unit, which is part of the pediatric surgery department, is equipped with high-tech equipment. Round-the-clock monitoring systems are installed here, and a nurse constantly monitors the condition of young patients. In case of its deterioration, a pediatric surgeon will immediately provide the necessary assistance.
In the EMC Children's Clinic, a child can stay in the intensive care unit with his mother. Meals are provided at a convenient time, and the menu itself is designed to meet the needs of the child's body and taste preferences.
Most elective surgeries are performed in conditions of a one-day hospital, when the child's stay with his parents in the ward of a surgical clinic does not exceed 6-8 hours. A full preoperative examination in our clinic can be carried out within one day.
The EMC Children's Clinic practices "weekend surgery", when routine operations are performed at a convenient time for patients and do not require interruption from school and work.
How does pediatric surgery differ from adult surgery?
Surgery for children has a number of differences related to the age of patients: a special choice of anesthesia (milder), the need to prevent dehydration of the child's body, and minimize tissue injury. When performing operations, an experienced pediatric surgeon must necessarily take into account the individual and age characteristics of a small patient. An impeccable knowledge of the surgical anatomy of a child, which radically distinguishes him from an adult, is the key to a successful operation.
Nowadays, the field of pediatric surgery is developing rapidly: the level of quality of anesthesiological care has increased significantly, minimally invasive treatment methods are being widely introduced, laser and ultrasound have been used, and low-temperature cryosurgery is being used. The surgical department of the EMC Children's Clinic is equipped with all the necessary high-tech equipment.
Why are routine checkups with a pediatric surgeon important?
The child's body develops very quickly. Some pathological conditions requiring surgical correction are congenital and are diagnosed in the hospital, while others appear as the child grows, and as a rule, they often occur unnoticed by parents. Pediatric surgeons in Moscow must conduct routine examinations of the baby in order to identify and eliminate developmental defects in a timely manner. If necessary, surgical treatment of identified diseases and birth defects is performed at the EMC Children's Clinic according to the standards of European and leading domestic pediatric surgery clinics.
