Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery

Pediatric Plastic Surgery

Pediatric plastic surgery addresses congenital anomalies, trauma, and reconstructive needs in infants and children. Common conditions include cleft lip and palate, craniosynostosis, congenital hand deformities, and pediatric burns. Multidisciplinary approaches involving pediatric surgeons, anesthesiologists, orthodontists, and therapists are critical for comprehensive care. Techniques focus on growth-friendly reconstruction, functional restoration, and minimizing psychological impact. Innovations in microsurgery, tissue engineering, 3D surgical planning, and minimally invasive interventions enhance outcomes. Preoperative assessment, surgical timing, and postoperative care are carefully tailored for pediatric patients. Ethical considerations, parental counseling, and long-term follow-up are essential to ensure safety, functional success, and aesthetic outcomes. Participants gain practical insights into pediatric-specific techniques, innovations, and evidence-based strategies for achieving optimal surgical and developmental results.
