Pediatric Pulmonary Surgery
Queen Silvia Children’s Hospital is one of only two hospitals in Sweden that offers advanced lung surgery for children.
Here, each child is cared for by a team of paediatric surgeons, pulmonologists and specialist anaesthetists who work together to plan treatment. We follow children throughout their care and make decisions based on both medical evidence and the child’s individual circumstances.
We use minimally invasive surgery whenever possible. This means smaller incisions, less pain and a faster recovery. Many children can go home after just a few days.
We also have extensive experience of long-term follow-up care. This enables us to provide families with clear answers to important questions: how will the lungs function in the long term? How might the child’s everyday life be affected?
Decisions are made together with the family, with clear information and respect for their concerns.
Our goal is not only to treat disease, but also to give every child the best possible opportunity to lead an active life.
