Pediatric surgery

We are always looking for ways to help make the hospital and surgical experience faster and friendlier for kids. For example, we offer rapid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies to diagnose appendicitis and decrease radiation for children. We also provide stress-relieving techniques and tools, such as a computer tablet for children that explains treatments. We also offer games and shows to keep them occupied during procedures.

Minimally invasive surgery for children

As often as possible, our surgeons use minimally invasive surgical techniques. These improve your child's immediate and long-term results. Minimally invasive surgery uses advanced technology and techniques, allowing for smaller incisions and less disruption on their body during surgery.

For the right patient, this type of surgery:

Gives your child a chance to return to normal activity faster
Reduces pain
Reduces scarring
