Features: In recent years, with the advancement of science and technology, pediatric surgery has also developed rapidly. However, pediatric surgery remains an emerging specialty and is still relatively lagging behind compared to other fields, both domestically and internationally. Efforts should be made to accelerate progress and adapt to societal demands. It should be noted that pediatric surgery must adapt to the characteristics of children's growth and development, grasp the pathological evolution patterns of various diseases as they change with development, and also consider the impact of diseases on children's growth and life, selecting appropriate timing for surgical intervention. This is especially important for infants and young children, whose tissues are delicate and anatomical structures are tiny, making the development of minimally invasive techniques crucial for achieving more ideal outcomes—differences that distinguish pediatric surgery from adult surgery. This book is aimed at adult surgeons but can also serve as a reference for young pediatric surgeons, undergraduate and graduate students in pediatric surgery. Its focus is on common diseases such as neonatal, general surgery, urology, orthopedics, and thoracic surgery. It strives for simple and clear language, abundant illustrations, and a strong emphasis on practicality, explaining indications, surgical steps, and precautions, while introducing currently recognized methods based on technological advancements to meet the needs of the medical market.
