As part of its emergency laceration repair services, Dr. Volshteyn is available to meet you and your child at one of the emergency rooms in Monmouth County. After examining the severity of the wound, the surgeon would recommend the most feasible course of treatment for your kid's injury.
"The procedure is similar to repairing a tear in clothing," a spokesperson for the practice says. "Pediatricians, emergency room physicians, and surgeons usually repair lacerations. The main goals are to stop bleeding, prevent infection, preserve function, and restore appearance."
Atlantic Surgical Associates PA notes that most insurance policies cover the repair of lacerations in children by a sub-specialist. If you are willing to have your child's cut treated by a surgeon but lack insurance coverage, you can opt for an all-cash payment with the practice that includes a consultation, surgical treatment, and a three-month follow-up.
The team at the practice advises that cuts that are small and have only impacted your child's skin generally need minor treatment at home. More severe tears that have affected the tendon, nerves, blood vessels, muscle, or bone, however, are likely to require emergency medical assistance, the specialists note.
Atlantic Surgical Associates PA recommends you seek emergency laceration repair services should your child's wound bleed heavily, involves fat or muscle tissue, or affect the proper functioning of the surrounding area. You also need to contact the practice if there is dirt and debris in the wound, or if the cut extends through the nose, mouth, ears, or other vital organs of your child.
