Surgical Services
Pediatric Surgical Services at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM) consist of general surgery and a comprehensive array of specialty surgeries. CHAM's expert surgeons are highly skilled in performing surgical procedures on children ranging in age from infants to adolescents. Our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive techniques and work side-by-side with pediatric anesthesiologists and nurses to provide warm, personal and expert care. The CHAM surgical suites and Day Hospital are designed with the very latest in integrated technology that, in combination with the advanced training and experience of our surgeons, results in a nationally renowned surgical program.
From the less complicated general outpatient procedures to the most advanced brain surgeries, surgical services at CHAM include:
Our board-certified surgeons work within a professional team to develop a thorough initial evaluation, devise an individualized treatment plan, perform the necessary operation(s), and implement follow-up care. Specialized pediatric anesthesiologists are an important component of the team, which ensures greater safety for our young patients.
Our commitment to teamwork is also evident in our relationship with Montefiore perinatal and high-risk obstetrics professionals. By providing early diagnosis and treatment to expectant mothers, appropriate steps can be taken to intervene at birth with newborns known to require surgical intervention in advance.
CHAM's commitment to providing exceptional care extends to the education of patient and family to assist them in evaluating treatment options as well as in preparing them for the surgery experience. Prior to a scheduled surgery, our Child Life team works with the family to allay their anxiety by bringing them into the operating room, introducing key staff, and explaining what can be expected in advance of the operation.
Training the next generation of care providers
Our role as a teaching hospital means that our surgeons are actively engaged in the education of medical students, surgical and pediatric residents and physician assistants. Each division conducts clinical research to improve surgical treatment and supportive care. This keeps us at the forefront of new advances.
