Our approach to pediatric surgery

Specific emotional and disease-related factors must be taken into account when performing surgery on children as opposed to adults.

For this reason, pediatric surgical procedures are increasingly done on an outpatient basis.

It is also for this reason that the American Hospital of Paris allows parents to accompany their child all the way to the door of the operating room, where they are greeted by the surgeon and the anesthesiologist. After the surgery, parents can join their child in the recovery room, where the surgeon gives them a report on the operation.

The necessary investigational exams can be immediately performed on site thanks to the exceptional diagnostic and testing facilities of the American Hospital of Paris, which include  a clinical laboratory, radiology department (ultrasound, CT scan and MRI) and nuclear medicine department.

What sets us apart

    Consultations for newborns and children up to 18 years of age. Available in the event of an emergency.

Koalou, a better care experience for your child

To accompany you at each stage of your child's surgical journey, we suggest that you consult KOALOU, a dedicated website to consult all the important information for your child's operation.

This information is based on a real teamwork between the surgeon, the anesthesiologist and the paramedical staff of the hospital. It has been designed to better prepare the intervention with your child and better inform you of its progress.

Thus, you will benefit from:

  • much more in-depth information on the different stages of your child's intervention and stay,
  • an involved medical and paramedical supervision,
  • attentive and personalized management of postoperative pain.

Main treatments & exams available

Patients are examined by the consulting surgeon, who orders any necessary investigative exams. Lab tests, radiological and ultrasound exams as well as CT scans are performed immediately in order to very rapidly obtain a diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment.
  • Prenatal diagnosis of congenital malformations: prenatal surgical opinion.
  • Newborn: hypospadias, non-palpable testicles, etc. requiring an ultrasound
  • Urological malformations: vesicoureteral reflux, ureteropelvic junction. Importance of radiological explorations and scintigraphy prior to any decision regarding treatment
  • Surgical lowering of an undescended testicle. Need for ultrasound in certain cases
  • Appendicitis: complete laboratory work-up and radiological explorations contribute to the diagnosis and surgical indication
