Today Pediatric surgery has become well established as fix point in the operative care of infants and children in Germany. The academic platform has traditionally been a strong driver for this development. However, as in other places around the world, academic pediatric surgery in Germany is currently facing relevant challenges. These challenges include internal aspects of the field (for example the broad spectrum with a rapidly ongoing development towards sub-specialization) but also external aspects (for example political specifications in form of the working hours act). Out of over 230 pediatric surgical institutions in Germany, only 33 are University-based. Sixteen of those 33 institutions are completely independent, whereas the other 18 are based within adult surgical University departments. In this article the authors give an overview over the current status of academic Pediatric surgery in Germany with its challenges and perspectives.
如今，小儿外科在德国已成为婴幼儿手术治疗的固定科室。学术平台一直是这一发展的强大推动力。然而，与世界其他地方一样，德国的学术性小儿外科目前正面临着相关挑战。这些挑战包括该领域的内部因素（例如业务范围广泛，且朝着亚专业方向快速发展），也包括外部因素（例如以工作时间法形式存在的政策规定）。在德国230多家小儿外科机构中，只有33家是以大学为基础的。这33家机构中有16家完全独立，而另外18家则隶属于成人外科大学科室。在本文中，作者概述了德国学术性小儿外科的现状及其面临的挑战和前景。
