Ways to shape the practice

• Neonatal surgery

  Operating on babies born days or hours earlier, some weighing under a kilogram.

• Pediatric surgical oncology

  Removing childhood tumours of the kidney, liver and adrenal gland.

• Trauma

  Injured children at the big trauma centres.

• Research

  Rare conditions mean every centre shares data. Academic pediatric surgeons lead the studies.
