Surgery
What could be more frightening to a child and family than the prospects of surgery? That’s why the surgery team at Children’s Hospital & Research Center Oakland works with pediatricians, family physicians, Child Life specialists and other medical specialists to treat the whole child. Our programs are designed to minimize the stress and discomfort of surgery while providing the highest level of pediatric surgical expertise for children, from the tiniest newborns through adolescence. Our surgical practice encompasses the full spectrum of general pediatric surgery, including laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures. Our surgeons have particular expertise in:
Neonatal surgery
Children's surgeons have specialized knowledge in the surgical repair of birth defects and acquired conditions, some of which may be life-threatening to premature and full-term infants.
Pediatric oncology
Diagnosis and surgical care of children with malignant and benign tumors.
Pediatric urology
Management of surgical problems of the kidneys, bladder and genitalia.
Pediatric thoracic surgery
Congenital and acquired conditions of the chest wall, lungs, airways, esophagus and blood vessels in the chest cavity.
