Pediatric Plastic Surgery
This subfield involves plastic-reconstructive surgeons treating "children." This care encompasses acquired and congenital conditions. For acquired conditions, we treat wounds from car/bicycle accidents, dog bites, and hand fractures, for example. For congenital conditions, we focus on five areas:
- Hand conditions including spastic paralysis
- Giant congenital nevi
- Vascular anomalies such as hemangiomas and vascular malformations
- Cleft lip and palate / Robin sequence
- Microtia
We are involved in training plastic surgeons as well as medical students. Additionally, we are enthusiastic about conducting research to explore ways to improve the care process.
In addition to work in the Netherlands, several staff members are involved in humanitarian aid efforts in low-income countries.
We are Amsterdam UMC, we are here for you.
