Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The purpose of this course is to integrate pediatric surgical knowledge, attitudes and skills already acquired in the first 4 years of medical school into the clinical discipline, follow-up of healthy children and practice current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches with guidance in common medical and surgical disease situations. Preoperative preparation, surgery and postoperative care (history, physical examination, laboratory, differential diagnosis) in children with pediatric surgical problems are discussed in overview. The principles of general surgery are discussed with emphasis on physiology of the pediatric population, especially in the neonatal period as a different model from those of adults. The necessity of a unique approach is underlined. Children with common congenital anomalies, surgical pathologies, especially those with associated anomalies requiring surgery are discussed focusing on treatment modalities. Students are encouraged to observe hospitalized children and outpatients, learn disease prevention, early diagnosis and treatment strategies and provide support for the patient and the family.

Course Content:

Clinical approach to pediatric surgery
Diagnosis, follow-up and treatment of surgical problems in neonatal and pediatric patients
Diagnosis and treatment of infants and children with congenital anomalies
