A paediatric surgeon is a doctor who is a specialist in operating on children whose development ranges from the new-born period to teenage years. This is the only surgical specialty that doesn't focus on an organ system but rather on a period of life.
Children aren't merely small adults, and a paediatric surgeon is someone who is orientated toward working with children, their families and understanding their special needs.
It is often said that paediatric surgeons don't just save lives, but rather save whole lifetimes.
