Kids' medical cutter

A pediatric surgeon is a physician who performs surgical operations on infants, children, and adolescents.

The specialty requires additional training beyond general surgery, focusing on the distinct anatomical and physiological needs of young patients: The pediatric surgeon repaired the newborn's heart defect.

Pediatric surgeons treat conditions ranging from congenital abnormalities to childhood cancers and traumatic injuries.
