Understanding the spectrum of paediatric surgical cases: Insights into elective and emergency interventions


Author(s): Riddhi Barad, Kashish Patel, Dhruvesh Sheth, Tapan Shah and Mukesh Suvera

Abstract: This retrospective study was conducted at Sheth Lallubhai Gordhandas Municipal Corporation Hospital, Ahmedabad, over two years to understand the spectrum of pediatric surgical cases. A total of 589 procedures were performed on 567 patients aged 0–14 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 5:1 and a median age of 9 years. The most common conditions were phimosis (26.16%), congenital inguinal hernia (18.24%), and acute appendicitis (15.32%). Elective surgeries made up 69.61% of the cases, while 30.39% were emergencies. Most circumcisions and herniotomies were elective, whereas appendectomies were mainly emergencies. The findings highlight the predominance of elective surgeries but also emphasize the continued burden of emergency cases, especially acute appendicitis and trauma. Strengthening pediatric surgical services, early referral systems, and specialized care facilities can help improve outcomes and reduce morbidity in pediatric patients.
