Paediatric surgeon consultations, assessment for procedures and scar assessment
Paediatric surgery deals with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that require a surgeon’s assessment in children from the newborn period up to 18 years of age. During the consultation the doctor takes a history, examines the child and decides whether conservative treatment, observation or assessment for a procedure is needed.
Consultations are provided by Maria Sobczyk, MD, a doctor in training in paediatric surgery. Visits can be booked online on the doctor’s profile or by phone on +48 880 018 703. Visits are private, without a referral, and pre-operative laboratory tests are available on site at the sample collection point.
The visit begins with a conversation with the parent about the complaints and treatment to date. The doctor examines the child, orders an ultrasound or laboratory tests if needed, and discusses the next steps. Many problems in small children (e.g. umbilical hernia, foreskin adhesions) only require observation; the surgeon explains when a procedure is indicated and at what age it is best performed.
Urgent medical assessment, ideally at a paediatric emergency department, is needed for: sudden, severe abdominal or scrotal pain; a hernia that cannot be pushed back, with pain and vomiting; an injury with a wound requiring treatment; and increasing swelling or redness after an injury.
The child’s health booklet, results of previous tests (ultrasound, blood tests), hospital discharge summaries and a list of medications taken. Prices of consultations and procedures are given in the price list.
