Pediatric Minimally Invasive Surgery
At Children’s Health℠, medical technology and expertise have made minimally invasive surgeries the best choice for many general, urologic and cardiothoracic procedures.
Minimally invasive techniques produce better outcomes and provide the patient with many benefits including less pain and trauma to tissues and organs, as well as shorter hospital stays, faster recovery and smaller surgical scars.
Recent experience shows that a significant number of congenital heart defects can be safely and accurately repaired with these types of surgeries.
