Paediatric plastic surgery is highly specialised. Children often need to
be treated in the team environment of a childrens hospital with its expertise
and facilities; children are not just miniature adults, they have very different
needs when it comes to surgery. Through his appointment at Sydney Childrens
Hospital in Randwick Dr Buckland is able to offer a full paediatric service.
Some paediatric procedures can be performed in private hospitals and Dr
Buckland’s anaesthetists all have special experience in dealing with
children.
Some of the procedures which Dr Buckland performs include
Vascular malformations (birth marks)
Prominent ears
Congenital hand anomalies
Paediatric skin tumours/ lesions
Gynaecomastia.
