Pediatric and neonatal surgery demands precise anatomy, gentle tissue handling, and physiology-aware decisions tailored to small bodies and developing organs. This session integrates prenatal diagnosis, neonatal stabilization, and child-specific operative strategies across congenital anomalies, oncology, trauma, and minimally invasive techniques. We link airway, thermoregulation, fluid/glucose balance, and analgesia to safe anesthesia and recovery in infants and children. For teams researching Pediatric & Neonatal Surgery, planning to attend a Surgery Conference, or seeking updates in neonatal surgical care, this page translates evidence into practical pathways that protect growth and long-term function.
We cover prenatal counseling and delivery planning for diaphragmatic hernia, gastroschisis, and obstructive uropathies; neonatal resuscitation priorities; and temperature-conserving OR setups. MIS content includes thoracoscopic/ laparoscopic repair of TEF/EA, CDH, HPS pyloromyotomy, and appendicitis—highlighting insufflation pressures, visualization in tiny spaces, and port placement that respects future growth. Oncology sections address resection planning for Wilms tumor, neuroblastoma, and hepatic tumors with organ preservation and sentinel strategies where appropriate. Bowel and hepatobiliary topics include atresia repairs, malrotation ladders, Hirschsprung algorithms, and biliary atresia timing with transplant interfaces. Trauma care emphasizes non-operative management when safe, splenic preservation, and radiation-minimizing imaging. We coordinate with neonatology, anesthesia, urology, and cardiology for comprehensive care, and apply ERAS-peds: opioid-sparing analgesia, early feeds, and family-centered discharge teaching. Equity considerations include parent-friendly instructions, tele-follow-up for rural families, and access to ostomy supplies and pediatric rehab. Attendees leave with checklists for consent (growth, cosmesis, and neurodevelopment), intra-op verification (line placement, counts, warming), and escalation (apnea, hypoglycemia, sepsis) that make outcomes predictable and child-centered.

Prenatal to Postnatal Continuum
- Coordinate fetal diagnosis, delivery planning, and neonatal stabilization.
- Align imaging and consults to time definitive repair safely.
MIS in Small Patients
- Set pressures, port sizes, and angles suited to infant/child anatomy.
- Protect perfusion and ventilation while preserving cosmesis.
Oncology & Organ Preservation
- Plan resections that spare kidney, liver, or adrenal where feasible.
- Coordinate chemo/radiation timing with wound and growth considerations.
Trauma & ER Pathways
- Favor non-operative management when safe with strict monitoring.
- Use ultrasound and dose-aware CT to limit radiation.
