Abstract

Primary care physicians are generally the first contacts of the parents of children with any disease. Management protocols and methods of the surgical conditions in children have undergone changes over time and the aim of this review is to update the knowledge base of clinicians. New technologies like laparoscopy and endoscopic surgery are available for management. The optimal treatment of any surgical condition requires that appropriate procedure is performed at the optimal time by a pediatric surgeon who is best trained for management of these conditions.
