  • WHEN TO BOOK A CONSULTATION

When to see a paediatric surgeon

When to see a paediatric surgeon

A paediatric surgery consultation helps assess the origin of a symptom, guide the family through observation, follow-up checks and possible treatments and, when necessary, plan the most appropriate care pathway for the child.

It may be recommended by the child’s paediatrician or requested when a new sign appears, a pain persists or something causes concern.

01

Swellings
or lumps

In the groin, scrotum, navel or other areas of the abdominal wall: these signs may require a specialist assessment to rule out hernias, hydrocele or other conditions.

02

Abdominal
or testicular pain

Persistent, recurring or worsening abdominal pain or testicular pain, especially when associated with nausea, fever, loss of appetite or a worsening general condition.

03

Development concerns
or recurring symptoms

A testicle not present in the scrotum, phimosis, an ingrown toenail, persistent constipation or concerns raised by the child’s paediatrician.

  • CONSULTATIONS AND CARE PATHWAYS

How I can help

A tailored pathway that may begin with an in-person consultation, a remote discussion when appropriate or an assessment for possible treatment. Every recommendation depends on the child’s age, clinical picture and the real need for intervention.

01

Outpatient consultations

To assess symptoms, known conditions or concerns raised by the paediatrician and define the most appropriate pathway.

02

Video consultations

When appropriate, they allow an initial remote discussion or clarification of medical documents and recommendations already received.

03

Outpatient procedures

Minor surgical procedures that can be performed without hospital admission, depending on the child’s age and level of cooperation.

04

Surgical procedures in the operating room

Treatment is planned in the most suitable facility, including with minimally invasive techniques when indicated and with hospital admission when needed.

  • TESTIMONIALS

Families’ voices

Families’ voices

Parents’ words show how important it is to feel listened to, guided and supported with clarity throughout every stage of the care pathway.

When a family entrusts their child to me, the relationship goes beyond the medical consultation. These reviews are not only a professional assessment: they tell the story of a pathway shared together, with trust, questions, fears and, ultimately, relief.
