Surgery (Pediatric)
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced technology that acts as a child’s heart and lungs to support a child who is recovering from surgery or disease, or during a surgical procedure.
Minimally Invasive Pediatric Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery is a special way of performing surgery using smaller instruments and smaller incisions than traditional surgical methods. The goal of minimally invasive surgery is to perform operations through very small incisions a mere fraction of the size of the incisions used in traditional surgery with equal or superior clinical outcomes and less impact on a child’s body and organs.
