Pediatric Tumor Surgery

Pediatric tumor surgery involves the removal of tumors in children, which can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Surgeons carefully operate to excise the tumor while minimizing harm to surrounding healthy tissue. This procedure is essential for diagnosis, treatment, and improving a child's overall health. The surgery may be part of a broader treatment plan that includes chemotherapy or radiation. Pediatric surgeons are specially trained to address the unique anatomical and emotional needs of children, ensuring they receive appropriate care during this critical process.
