prowided at department of the Pediatric Surgery. Our mission is to provide excellent, innovative care that improves the medical and quality-of-life outcomes of children and families living with complex conditions of the genitourinary and respiratory and gastrointestinal systems.
With the increasing use of high-resolution ultrasonography on expectant mothers, many congenital (present at birth) conditions are now detected before birth at Perinatology of our hospital. Pediatric surgeons have special training in the surgical repair and postoperative management of these conditions. To assure the best possible clinical outcomes, they work closely with neonatologists, perinatologist obstetricians and physicians who specialize in maternal fetal medicine. Before delivery, pediatric surgeons meet with expectant mothers and their partners, providing them with an understanding of the developmental abnormalities and discussing possible corrective operative procedures that their newborn will need to undergo. After delivery, newborns are transferred to neaotal surgical intensive care unit at our pediatric surgical department to undergo the prescribed surgery. Our multidisciplinary care programs allow our patients and their family to see multiple specialists. Each specialist has a unique perspective about your child’s condition and potential treatment options. The pediatric surgeons will meet as a team to create with the patient and family a coordinated plan of care.
