GENERAL PEDIATRIC SURGERY
From Emergency to Continued Care
The UT Physicians Pediatric Surgical team partners with the Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital and the Children’s Cancer Hospital at MD Anderson. We offer emergency and continued care for pediatric trauma patients from our level 1 trauma facility based at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital. Our UT surgical team collaborates with outstanding health care professionals in our partner facilities to care for each child and their family.
PEDIATRIC NEUROSURGERY
Traditional and Minimally Invasive Surgery
By utilizing the most advanced imaging technologies designed specifically for pediatric patients – including MRI, CT, PET, MEG, stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG), deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS) – neurosurgeons are able to identify and treat specific areas of the brain and significantly lower the risk of complications. When traditional surgery is required, endoscopic techniques are often used to reduce incision size and scarring for patients who are candidates.
