Pediatric Surgery

The Center for Pediatric Surgery 'Helyos' in Dnipro provides a full cycle of care for your child: from the initial consultation and precise diagnosis to surgery and rehabilitation, all in one place.

We treat both scheduled conditions (hernias, congenital anomalies, benign tumors) and emergency cases: appendicitis, trauma, and acute inflammatory/purulent processes. The inpatient hospital operates 24/7, our private ambulance service 7-103 is available round the clock, and medical test results are ready on the very same day of the visit.

On this page, parents will find all the key information: when to schedule a visit with a pediatric surgeon, what diseases they treat, how diagnostics work, and what to expect during the appointment.

What symptoms require an appointment with a pediatric surgeon?

Some conditions in children develop gradually and are not always accompanied by severe pain. However, certain signs may necessitate a surgical consultation. If symptoms persist or raise concerns for parents, it is best not to delay seeking professional medical advice.

You should consult a surgeon if your child experiences:

The appearance of a lump, swelling, or induration under the skin;
Pustular skin lesions, an ingrown toenail, or inflammation around it;
Abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting without any obvious cause;
Enlarged lymph nodes that do not decrease in size within 2–3 weeks;
Wounds, cuts, or burns that heal poorly;
New skin growths — nevi, hemangiomas, or cysts;
A suspected hernia or appendicitis;
Disrupted musculoskeletal function, such as visible limb deformation or gait disturbances.

In most cases, the doctor will be able to assess the situation during the very first appointment. If necessary, they will order additional diagnostic tests and only then decide on the optimal treatment strategy.

What diseases and conditions are treated at Helyos Pediatric Surgery Department?

The Pediatric Surgery Department of Helyos Medical Center in Dnipro covers the entire spectrum of surgical care for children, from acute emergencies to planned procedures and the correction of congenital development anomalies.

Emergency Surgery. Appendicitis, peritonitis, phlegmons, and abscesses are conditions where time plays a critical role. We perform urgent diagnostics and surgical treatment in strict accordance with modern clinical protocols.
Urological Surgery. Phimosis, paraphimosis, testicular torsion, hydrocele, cryptorchidism, and injuries — surgical care for boys of all ages. In a number of cases, timely surgical intervention is vital to safeguard the child's future health.
Congenital Conditions and Skin Growths. Inguinal and umbilical hernias, dermoid and epithelial cysts, nevi, hemangiomas, and external organ development anomalies. The center performs elective surgeries to remove growths and correct congenital features across various pediatric age groups.
Purulent-Inflammatory Processes and Benign Tumors. Furuncles, carbuncles, infected wounds, and subcutaneous masses require timely surgical evaluation. The medical center performs incision and drainage of inflammatory foci, as well as planned removal of benign tumors.
Orthopedics and Traumatology. Contusions (bruises), sprains, uncomplicated fractures without displacement, hygromas, contractures, and congenital limb or spine deformities.

Please note: It is highly recommended to bring all available medical documentation for your child to the appointment — summaries, previous lab test results, and medical imaging. This will help the physician evaluate the situation more rapidly and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition.

What does pediatric diagnostics include?

Before determining a treatment plan, the surgeon takes a medical history, performs a physical examination, and, if required, refers the child for diagnostic investigations. At the Helyos Center for Pediatric Surgery, the entire diagnostic cycle is organized under one roof, so parents do not need to visit separate facilities and lose precious time.

Diagnostics at Helyos Center for Pediatric Surgery

A comprehensive range of diagnostic methods is available at Helyos. All procedures are carried out with careful consideration of the child's physiological characteristics and are aimed at fast, highly accurate diagnosis.

Ultrasound (US) — evaluation of soft tissues, abdominal cavity organs, and lymph nodes. A safe, high-precision method.
Digital X-ray — identification of fractures and bone deformations, evaluation of chest organs. Uses a digital system with minimal radiation exposure.
CT (Computed Tomography) — diagnostics of complex fractures, mass lesions, and structural changes in internal organs. Performed using a 128-slice scanner enhanced with AI technologies; reports are issued on the day of the scan.
Laboratory Testing — identification of signs of inflammation, infectious processes, and overall body status. Results are ready on the day of request, and emergency panels are processed in the shortest time possible.

In critical emergencies requiring immediate surgical intervention, Helyos operates its own 7-103 ambulance service, which allows us to promptly transport the child to the inpatient unit and begin treatment without any delay.
