Specific Paediatric Surgeries

By my count, approximately half of the paediatric CRQ/SAQ questions since 2017 have been on perioperative conduct for specific surgeries.  These include inguinal hernia (2017), strabismus surgery (2019), tonsillectomy (2021; covered in the ENT section), foreign body (2022) and pyloric stenosis (2023).

• Congenital diaphragmatic hernia
• Dental extractions (in brief) c.f. maxillofacial surgery section
• Herniorrhaphy
• Inhaled foreign body
• Pyloric stenosis
• Repair of abdominal wall defects
• Strabismus surgery (in brief)
• Tracheo-oesophageal fistula
• Vaccinations and surgery
