It is now generally well accepted that pediatric surgical treatment is quite distinct from surgical treatment in the adult population. Children are not simply “little adults.” The psychological and physiological aspects of the care of children are often more challenging than those of adults. We also face a very broad range of plastic surgical conditions in children that are simply not routinely seen in adults. This issue endeavors to bring some of these conditions and unique considerations into focus.
