How Do Pediatric Surgical Techniques Differ from Adult Techniques?
Pediatric surgical techniques differ from adult techniques in several ways:
Tissue Sensitivity: Children's tissues are more delicate and sensitive, requiring gentler handling. Anesthesia: Pediatric anesthesia requires careful dosing and monitoring to avoid complications. Size and Proportion: Surgical instruments and approaches must be scaled down to accommodate smaller anatomical structures. Growth Considerations: Surgeons must account for future growth when planning and executing surgical procedures.
