Pediatric Emergency and Emergency Surgery
Emergency pediatric surgery at the European Medical Center operates around the clock 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The department has experienced surgeons and traumatologists on duty 24/7, and modern high-precision equipment for comprehensive diagnostics and emergency care. We accept patients under the age of 18, deal with complex cases, and apply the latest techniques for the fastest and most complete recovery of the child.
Directions
Pediatric surgery provides emergency and emergency care for:
-
bruises and injuries of any localization, including chest contusions, head and abdominal injuries;
-
purulent-inflammatory conditions of bones and soft tissues;
-
acute surgical pathologies of the abdominal cavity;
-
limb fractures;
-
cuts, burns;
-
swallowing or thrusting foreign objects into the nose.
The EMC Surgery Department is equipped with all the necessary equipment to make a quick and accurate diagnosis:

-
own clinical diagnostic laboratory.
This allows you to promptly begin treatment of the child at any time of the day or night, which has a positive effect on the prognosis of recovery.
Treatment in EMC surgery
EMS emergency surgery uses effective techniques that take into account the specifics of pediatric anatomy. To provide assistance, the following can be carried out:
-
treatment of injuries, stopping bleeding, suturing;
-
puncture, opening of hematomas;
-
anti-shock measures, anesthesia;
-
surgical procedures of any complexity.
When providing surgical care, gentle anesthesia is used, modern techniques are used, including laparoscopic.
In the treatment of complex fractures, we use osteosynthesis technologies using titanium fixatives, which allows us to achieve stable fixation of fragments and accelerate the restoration of the child's mobility.
Doctors of related specialties can be involved in emergency care, this allows you to get the most complete clinical picture and take into account all possible risks.
Types of operations
-
Operations with laparoscopic access. This is a gentle method of surgical intervention, when all manipulations are performed through small punctures. This reduces the likelihood of injury to surrounding tissues and blood vessels, and accelerates rehabilitation.
-
Arthroscopic operations. They are performed for joint injuries: ruptures of ligaments and tendons, damage to cartilage tissue. Access is also provided through small punctures or incisions.
-
Thoracoscopic operations. They are performed for injuries and emergencies of the chest with access through punctures.
We also actively use laser, ultrasound, cryosurgery — the use of low temperatures. The choice of the intervention method is based on the child's age.
If required, you can undergo rehabilitation at the EMC. Small patients will find a cozy atmosphere and a consistently professional approach from pediatric rehabilitologists at the EMC Rehabilitation Center on Rublevo—Uspenskoe Highway.
