A Pediatric Surgery expert witness is a Pediatric Surgeon who testifies on the diagnosis and treatment of surgical disease and trauma in children. Pediatric Surgery is a subspecialty of surgery focusing on surgery of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. Pediatric Surgeons complete four years of medical school followed by a five-year General Surgery residency and an additional two-years of training dedicated to Pediatric Surgery. Pediatric Surgeons work in children’s hospitals, university medical centers, community hospitals, and clinic settings. Pediatric Surgeons treat children from the newborn stage through late adolescence, and perform a spectrum of both traditional and minimally-invasive surgeries. Children are not simply small adults, and Pediatric Surgeons are specialized in caring for the physiologic differences specific to this population. Fetal surgery and neonatal surgery are two further subspecialties of Pediatric Surgery. A carefully aligned Pediatric Surgery expert witness can address any of these complex areas.
Medical malpractice litigation in Pediatric Surgery involves complications of surgical procedures. A Pediatric Surgery expert witness also may be called as an expert on causation, educating the trier of fact on the cause, extent, and prognosis of various pediatric illness, conditions, and injuries.
