Abstract :

Our hospital is the first government hospital in India, which provides treatment to pediatric population up to 18 years of age only, with a dedicated department of Pediatric plastic surgery. This study is our experience of plastic surgery for pediatric age group in the first public sector pediatric superspeciality hospital in India. This was a retrospective study done by Department of Pediatric plastic surgery in Super Speciality Pediatric Hospital & Post Graduate Teaching Institute Noida Uttar Pradesh over one year from December 2016 to December 2017. All cases that were operated in the major operation theater were included. One hundred and seven cases were operated. Majority of our cases were trauma related (35.51%) followed by those with congenital deformity (28.97%). We recommend the establishment of more such pediatric hospitals, with dedicated department of pediatric plastic surgery for better outcomes and care of pediatric patients.
