About the Department of Pediatric Surgery at University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden

The Department of Pediatric Surgery at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden offers the full range of surgical treatment for various diseases in children and adolescents, including premature babies and newborns. The department's specialists most often perform surgical interventions for the treatment of abdominal diseases, injuries, urologic pathologies, hydrocephalus, cancers, burns, thoracic pathologies and the correction of hand defects. When indicated, the preference is always given to minimally invasive interventions that ensure an optimal result with minimal trauma to healthy tissues. The department also widely uses innovative laser surgical techniques. For the high quality of medical services provided, the department was awarded the most prestigious certificate in the field of pediatrics – Ausgezeichnet. FÜR KINDER. The health of young patients is in the hands of the highly qualified surgeons whose professionalism is recognized in Germany and far beyond its borders. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Guido Fitze.

The department's specialists often perform surgical interventions for the treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and biliary tract, pancreas, spleen, as well as defecation disorders. The department's surgeons give preference to low-trauma interventions, during which surgical access is provided by means of several incisions in the skin and soft tissues of 1-1,5 cm in size. The operating rooms of the medical facility are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment that allows doctors to perform surgical manipulations of any degree of complexity.

The department also successfully performs many operations for colorectal diseases in children. The most common pathologies include rectal prolapse, anal fissures, anorectal malformations, anal atresia, Hirschsprung's disease, perianal abscesses and fistulas, as well as constipation. In some cases, the department's doctors recommend starting with monitoring dynamics, since certain pathologies can disappear on their own with age. For example, in the case of rectal prolapse, symptoms in children often disappear without any therapeutic manipulations.

The ​​tasks of the department's doctors also include surgical interventions for diseases of the urinary system and reproductive organs in boys. The specialists of the medical facility have vast experience in the surgical repair of hypospadias, cryptorchidism and phimosis. In addition, the team of pediatric surgeons brilliantly performs surgery for ureteral stenosis, vesicoureteral reflux, megaureter, kidney duplication, urogenital sinus and other pathologies.

It should be noted that many operations are performed on an outpatient basis, so the child can leave the department on the same day.
