Charles Dickens wrote a century ago:
„It is not enough, that a wise physician who has success in
treating adults just makes minor changes in his plans and prescribes medicine to
a child, just at a lower dosage. Some diseases occur only in children and the
others that occur in adults as well are presented in such a different way, like
the difference between an adult and a child.
“Children are not a smaller version of an adult."
Much more important than this quotation, is the fact that children
represent our future and for this reason we have to offer them optimal
treatment. Diseases, which begin during childhood, have to be recognized and
treated early, in order to avoid any disadvantages in adulthood. Pediatric Surgery cannot be defined as surgery on a child,
but implies knowledge on the development and growth of the child taking into
account special therapeutic principles.
In addition optimal treatment of
a child must include the parents, or even the whole family. Day Surgery is a way
to achieve this goal as examinations, operations and follow-up can be performed
in a gentle and child adapted manner in order for you to take your child home.
Specialized pediatric Anesthetists offer the highest degree of safety during and
after the operation.
Devoted to our motto “ for our children, even the
best is not good enough” Prof. Zachariou offers specialized treatment for
your child.
