Pediatric Surgery

When a child needs surgery, that child’s needs are very different than those of an adult patient needing the same or similar procedure. Our nationally recognized surgeons perform the latest procedures, using equipment that is customized to pediatric patients all the way from newborns to young adults—and our operating and procedure rooms are designed for safety, precision, and efficiency.

UCI Department of Pediatrics is closely affiliated with pediatric surgeons across all pediatric surgical areas who have primary appointments at CHOC or in surgical departments at UCI.

We and our affiliates provide pediatric specialty surgical services in the following areas:

• Gastroenterology (GI) surgery
• General and thoracic surgery
• Head and neck (ENT) surgery
• Heart surgery

• Neurosurgery
• Orthopedic surgery
