Abstract

Objective: Pediatric surgery is one of the departments treating some pediatric dermatology diseases. In this study, experience of pediatric surgeons were assessed for skin diseases. In addition, the interaction between the pediatric surgery and other relevant sections were examined.

Material and Methods: Pediatric surgery documents between 2005 and 2011 were examined. Diagnoses, consultations, and changes in diagnosis were evaluated for dermatologic problems of the patients.

Results: Three hundred and fifty-two pediatric surgical patients were examined due to dermatologic complaints. Seventy-five patients were consulted eighty times totally to other clinics. four patients were consulted twice and one patient was consulted three times. The diagnosis of 68 patients was changed after examination in different clinics.

Conclusion: Clinical disciplines for the integration of pediatric visits are rarely evaluated in dermatological patients. In our opinion, these evaluations may assist in selection of pediatric dermatologic units and medical members. Clinics of possible integrations between the common treatments for these patients may be important to design
