Minimally invasive surgery is considered one of the most important milestones in surgery in recent decades. In this way, operating in the thoracic cavity of children has greatly evolved over the last 20 years, from an open approach to an extremely safe thoracoscopic procedure. Thoracoscopic procedures were formerly considered “state of the art” in pediatric patients, but are now the standard of treatment for many disease conditions in pediatric surgical centers. What is Thoracoscopy? Thoracoscopy is a medical procedure that allows a doctor to examine the area within the chest (outside of the lungs). This is done with a thoracoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a light, and a small video camera on the end. The tube is inserted via a small incision towards the bottom of the shoulder blade between the ribs. Thoracoscopy is occasionally used as part of a VATS operation (video-assisted thoracic surgery). What pediatric condition required a thoracoscopy? Diaphragmatic hernia Eventration of Diaphragm Esophageal Surgery To take Lung biopsy Lobectomy Empyema Decortication Mediastinal tumor and cyst What are the different types of thoracoscopy? There are two types of thoracoscopy procedures that are commonly performed: Surgical Thoracoscopy: This method needs the patient to be sedated and is appropriate when the thoracoscopic surgery serves both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Medical Thoracoscopy: This method is significantly less invasive than surgical thoracoscopy, requiring just minor incisions to complete the procedure. This method serves mainly to perform a biopsy of the lungs, chest cavity, or pleural cavity.

Some of these conditions will have been found in regular scans before delivery, while others may not be recognized until after birth or will develop in the weeks after birth. Is it safe to operate on such young babies? Surgery is advised only if there is imminent danger to the child or there is an anatomical problem that needs correction. Neonatal surgery science has widely improved over the years and now babies are in expert hands. Common anomalies which require Surgeries in Newborn period are: Esophageal Atresia with tracheo-esophageal fistula Congenital diaphragmatic hernias Ano-rectal malformations Intestinal Atresias like duodenal atresia,Jejuno-ileal atresia, large bowel atresias Inguinal Hernias presenting in New-born Posterior Urethral Valves Hypertrophic Pyeloric Stenosis Perforated Necrotising enterocolitis Meconium Cyst causing Obstruction etc

Thoracic surgery is a general term used to define any surgical procedure that’s performed in or on the chest. It may be used to treat esophageal problems, gastroesophageal reflux, lung abnormalities, chest tumors, and rib reconstruction after a major injury. When a child develops a chest disease, such as gastric reflux, a tumor, or a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, he or she needs specialist treatment from a pediatric surgeon. What conditions need Pediatric Thoracic Surgery? Complex congenital lesions of the chest and congenital diaphragmatic hernia are examples of congenital chest problems. Chest tumors, including neuroblastomas, lymphomas, thymic tumors, and teratomas Complex esophageal and airway disorders, such as esophageal atresia (abnormality of the esophagus), esophageal duplications (esophageal cysts), tracheoesophageal fistulas (abnormal connection between the esophagus and the trachea), and esophageal strictures (narrowing of the esophagus) Lung infection and trauma, such as (pneumonia), pneumothorax (collapsed lung), and other acquired lung disorders necessitating surgical intervention. Pectus abnormalities, such as pectus excavatum (concave chest), pectus carinatum (pigeon chest), and rib flaring Cystic lung disease and masses, including pulmonary sequestrations of the lung, a condition that can interfere with normal circulation, cause respiratory infections and possibly heart failure, and bronchogenic cysts that affect the esophagus and trachea

There are many health conditions that can affect a child’s brain and nervous system. Some are congenital; others develop as the child develops, and yet others occur as a consequence of skull and brain damage. A pediatric surgeon will choose the most conservative but successful way to treat a brain condition for each patient. Sometimes, that approach will incorporate neurosurgery. Pediatric neurosurgical procedures can be intensive or minimally invasive. As surgical methods and other therapies improve, novel neurosurgery procedures become less risky and less invasive.
