Pediatric

Children across their developmental span from infancy through adolescence show distinct bodily features which make them wholly different from adult body functions. The variations between adult and child bodies become most prominent during childhood but fade as children reach maturity. Pediatric surgery exists as a specialized medical field created to serve infants and children and young adolescents through diagnosis and treatment planning and performance of surgical procedures. The specialty provides medical and surgical treatments of all ages which match each individual developmental phase.
