What Makes Pediatric Laparotomy Different?
Performing a laparotomy on children is far more delicate than on adults. The key challenges include:
Smaller anatomical structures – Requires precision instruments
Increased risk of trauma – Demands minimally invasive techniques
Faster metabolism – Calls for quick and efficient surgical procedures
Surgeons need lightweight, ergonomic, and highly precise instruments that minimize surgical risks while ensuring accuracy.
