Abstract

This chapter discusses about the common external conditions, head and neck conditions, chest and diaphragm, gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary disorders, pediatric urological conditions and solid tumors of childhood in the field of pediatric surgery. Pain, redness and swelling are indicative of inflammation but softening of tissues or fluctuation are definite indicators of pus collection. Surgical drainage as early as possible avoids the local and systemic morbidity. Lesions which are totally excisable without significant residual tissue loss are best excised surgically. Meningomyelocele or exposed neural tissue possesses high potential of meningitis if not operated early, and surgical correction is preferable within 36 to 48 hours of birth. Midline swelling moves with deglutition and protrusion of tongue. The collapsed lung at hilum differentiates from a cyst or congenital lobar emphysema, and is managed by intercostal drainage and treatment of primary pathology.
