Since the war began many of Syrian refugees were treated in our country. We aimed to evaluate pediatric surgical outcomes of these children in a tertiary center in Turkey&#13;
Design: A retrospective study is reported&#13;
Setting: Patients in present study were treated in atertiary hospital&#13;
Subjects: Pediatric Syrian refugees&#13;
Intervention: Surgery&#13;
Main Outcome Measure: Syrian refugees who were operated at the Pediatric Surgery Department of our hospital between June 2014 and November 2017 were evaluated retrospectively. Demographic data, diagnosis, and treatment were recorded.&#13;
Results: We operated twenty male and eight female patients under general anesthesia. 8 (%28.6) of them had newborn pathologies, 5 (%17.9) had inguinal pathology, 3 (%10.8) had tumor, 3 (%10.8) had urological disorders, 5 (%17.9) had gastrointestinal pathology, 1 (%3.5) had lymphangioma, 1 (%3.5) had nux diaphragmatic hernia, 1 (%3.5) had bronchoscopy for evaluating tracheoesophageal fistula, and 1 (%3.5) was operated due to trauma. Patients died due to trauma and mutiple congenital anomalies. Others were treated succesfully.&#13;
Conclusions: Wars and natural disaster effects humans and especially children. They have to leave their countries and move to neighbouring countries. By this study we wanted to draw attention and rise awareness on this emergency. Like the pediatric surgeons in the border, all the pediatric surgeons in our country will continue to do their best with regard to these children.&#13;
