The children’s hospital’s specialized team of board-certified pediatric surgeons offers advanced surgical techniques including minimally invasive procedures for common pediatric surgical conditions—which results in shorter hospital stays, faster recoveries and less pain and scarring. Its extensive surgical team has surgeons specializing in pediatric general surgery, pediatric orthopedic surgery, pediatric ENT surgery, pediatric urologic surgery, pediatric plastic surgery and pediatric neurosurgery, along with advanced practice nurses skilled in the surgical and postoperative care of children of all ages.
