For pediatric conditions, the pediatric surgeon is responsible for diagnosis, pre-operative preparation, performing the surgery, and post-operative care. In addition, certain neonatal anomalies are such that without surgery in the first hours of life, survival is not possible. In these cases, prompt diagnosis and timely surgery by the pediatric specialist and surgeon have a significant impact on the success of the operation.
