Pediatric Trauma and Emergency Reconstruction
Pediatric trauma refers to serious injuries in children that require immediate medical attention and rapid decision-making. Children need meticulous reconstruction to minimize scarring and preserve growth potential.
At Aster Whitefield Hospital, our pediatric trauma care team is equipped to manage these emergencies with speed and precision. From initial stabilization and careful imaging to emergency reconstruction when required, we follow standardized protocols to ensure safe, effective treatment and support the best possible recovery outcomes for every child.
Our trauma services include:
- Facial Cut Lacerated Wounds: Careful cleaning and precise suturing of facial cuts to promote proper healing and minimize scarring.
- Tendon Injuries: Surgical repair of damaged tendons to restore movement, strength, and function of the affected limb.
- Replantation and Revascularisation: Microsurgical procedures to reattach amputated parts or restore blood flow to injured tissues.
- Post-Burn Contracture Release: Surgical correction of tight scar tissue after burns to improve mobility and function.
- Acute Scald Injuries (<20% TBSA): Prompt assessment and specialized burn care for scald injuries affecting less than 20% of total body surface area.
- Burns upto 40% BSA
Microvascular techniques allow limb salvage and functional restoration in complex injuries
