Adolescent Care Services:
Traditionally, the pediatric age range was defined as encompassing individuals from birth to twelve years. However, adolescents, defined as those aged between 10 and 19 years, represent 21% of our nation’s population. Their physical and mental health is frequently overlooked, leading to a rise in adolescent-related issues such as lifestyle diseases, anxiety, depression, suicides, and addictions in recent years. By extending our pediatric services to include adolescents, we have integrated an adolescent physician into our team to address the physical and mental health needs of teenagers.
The services available for this age group include:
1. Monitoring of growth and development
2. Immunization services
3. Pre-sports medical evaluations
4. Counseling on various topics of interest to adolescents
5. Parental counselling
New Life Hospital thus addresses the health requirements of all children, from infancy through adolescence. Children from infancy to adolescence exhibit significant anatomical and physiological differences compared to adults. These
unique characteristics must be considered when providing care for infants and children, as the disparities are more pronounced in younger children and gradually diminish as they approach adulthood. Consequently, pediatric surgery is recognized as a distinct interventional specialty that encompasses the diagnosis, treatment, and care of children from infancy to adolescence..
The field of Paediatric surgery addresses a range of medical issues, including:
Birth defects:
Also referred to as congenital defects or anomalies, these are structural or functional irregularities that arise during fetal development. Surgical interventions may involve the repair of defects affecting the lungs, esophagus, intestinal tract, abdominal wall, and diaphragm.Abnormalities:
Surgical procedures are employed to correct various abnormalities in the groin area, including hernias, hydroceles, and undescended testes.Emergencies:
This includes urgent surgical interventions for conditions such as appendicitis, bowel obstructions, and other abdominal emergencies.Injuries:
Surgical treatment is provided for various injuries, including burns, liver lacerations, knife wounds, and gunshot wounds.Cancers:
The diagnosis and surgical treatment of cancers are critical, involving the excision of tumors located in the chest, abdomen, skin, testicles, and ovaries.Chronic conditions:
Surgical approaches are utilized to manage chronic medical issues, including pediatric cancers, gastrointestinal disorders, neurological conditions, and urological abnormalities.
