Surgery for digestive malformations

Digestive malformations include congenital anomalies affecting the oesophagus, stomach, intestine or anal region. Some are detected before birth or in the first days of life, while others become apparent later through persistent digestive problems. Their surgical management is carefully planned: the timing of the procedure, the technique and the nutritional follow-up are adapted to each child. Depending on the case, the correction may be performed by open surgery or by laparoscopy, in order to limit surgical trauma. At Clinique Pasteur Tunis, these procedures rely on a multidisciplinary team — paediatric surgeons, paediatricians, anaesthetists and nursing staff — and on monitoring units adapted to the youngest patients. Parents are closely involved in the care plan and in their child's follow-up.
