Pediatric Surgery

Overview

Working with children and their families is often challenging. Children are not simply small-sized versions of adults. They have different anatomical features, and common disorders are distinct from those seen in adults. Surgeons must be individual in their approach to children and their guardians, with special care for their psychosocial backgrounds. The Department of Pediatric Surgery attempts to clarify the clinical and basic issues in neonatology, gastroenterology, hepatology, oncology, urology, thoracic surgery, and endoscopic surgery. Our team focuses on the prompt and accurate diagnosis, and the appropriate and less-invasive treatments of the underlying disease of each child, along with the comprehensive support for their family. Our ultimate goal is to contribute to the provision of sustainable pediatric surgical care by educating trainees through our surgical education programs. We also  give medical students the unique experience of working with children and the surgeons who care for them.
