We have already talked about the importance of consultations with a surgeon and a urologist several times, but let's remember and systematize when and who still needs to visit this doctor.
In newborn boys, the surgeon must rule out phimosis and cryptorchidism (non-descension of one or both testicles in the scrotum from the abdominal cavity). This is the most common pathology, so it is extremely important to show the baby in the first weeks after birth, or even in the maternity hospital immediately after birth.
In an outpatient setting, a pediatric surgeon can perform minor surgical interventions, such as:
dissection and drainage of purulent foci (abscesses, phlegmon);
removal of neoplasms or recommendations for care
with phimosis and indications — dissection of the foreskin.
At the initial consultation, the doctor gets to know the young patient, collects the anamnesis, and carefully examines the child. Mucous membranes, skin, lymph nodes, genitals, chest, soft tissues, etc. are not left out.
If there are indications, the doctor issues a referral for additional examinations and analyzes (MRI, X-ray, ultrasound).
After the examination, the surgeon makes a diagnosis, provides recommendations for the prevention of the disease or selects an effective treatment.
After the examination, the surgeon makes a diagnosis, if necessary, prescribes additional examination or treatment. Parents will be advised to pay attention to prevention, please do not neglect this advice.
It is important to remember that preventive examinations prevent long-term and complex treatment, and early diagnosis of abnormalities is the key to rapid recovery of the body and good health in adulthood.
