The Paediatric Digestive and Thoracic Surgery Unit is referenced in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired pathologies of the digestive and respiratory systems, as well as airway and thoracic wall pathologies. It centres its activities on ages ranging from one month to 16 years old.
The unit’s distinguishing feature is minimally invasive surgery, which prioritises the techniques of 3 and 5 millimetre, single-incision laparoscopic and thorascopic surgery, magnetic and robotic surgery.
Neonatal Surgery is the sub-discipline within paediatric surgery that deals with surgically treating congenital and acquired illnesses in newborns and infants up to one month old.
This is a highly complex sub-speciality that only exists at tertiary paediatric centres. The past few decades have brought about important advances, thanks to improvements in diagnostic techniques, neonatal intensive care and anaesthetics, and surgical techniques and materials. These have radically changed the prognosis for both birth defects and acquired surgical pathologies in newborns.
Neonatal surgery requires detailed knowledge of complex pathologies in patients who also have special conditions that are different from other paediatric patients. The Neonatal and Foetal Surgery Unit covers practically every surgical neonatal pathology, and it is a reference centre both nationally and on a European level. It is part of ERNICA, the European Reference Network (ERN) for Rare Inherited and Congenital Digestive Disorders. In recent years, the Unit has been firmly committed to introducing minimally invasive surgical techniques, achieving excellent results.
