Abstract
The pediatric surgeon specializes in the surgical care of infants and children. The scope of operative practice ranges from the correction of congenital anomalies to the resection of malignant tumors and to the management of injured trauma patients. The surgeon must appreciate the physiologic differences and anatomic consideration of infants and children. As in all of medicine, the data and understanding in the field of pediatric surgery continue to evolve. New discoveries and technologic advancements are occurring constantly. This chapter focuses on major technologic advancements in the areas of critical care, minimally invasive surgery, and fetal surgery. Many of these contributions have dramatically changed the practice of modern pediatric surgery and have improved the care of pediatric patients.
