Pediatric Robotic Surgery
Minimally-invasive surgical options for kids
As a parent, you want the best for your child. When a child needs an operation, our surgeons’ top priorities are maximizing safety, a positive patient experience, and the best possible outcomes.
At Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health, we utilize minimally invasive methods that result in shorter hospital stays, less pain, and faster recoveries, whenever possible, so your child can get back to being a kid.
Our pediatric urologists and pediatric general surgeons have moved beyond traditional laparoscopic surgery to provide robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery for pediatric patients. For example:
- Our pediatric urologists use robotic surgery to treat conditions affecting the kidney, including reconstruction of the ureter and bladder.
- Our pediatric general surgeons use robotic surgery for gallbladder, hernia, and appendix surgery, as well as more complex bowel and solid organ resections, gynecological surgery, thoracic surgery, pediatric cancer, abdominal and chest cavity procedures, and lung surgery.
Patients travel from across the country to receive care from our renowned pediatric surgical experts.
