German Society for Pediatric Surgery eV / Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Kinderchirurgie e.V. (DGKCH)

Welcome to the DGKCH, the specialist society for pediatric surgery in Germany. Pediatric surgery is an essential pillar of conservative and operative pediatric and adolescent medicine in Germany. In addition to general pediatric surgery, it includes neonatal surgery, pediatric urology, pediatric traumatology (pediatric accident surgery) and surgical pediatric oncology. Pediatric surgery belongs in the hands of pediatric surgeons because their patients are not little adults.
