Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery
Pediatric cardiothoracic surgery is a specialized field focused on treating the heart and chest conditions in children. It involves surgical procedures to correct congenital heart defects, which are structural problems present at birth, or other serious heart issues. Surgeons work closely with pediatric cardiologists to develop treatment plans that ensure the best outcomes for young patients. These complex surgeries often require precise techniques and a deep understanding of both childhood anatomy and heart function, aiming to improve the child's quality of life and overall heart health.
