At the Golisano Children's Hospital we understand that "your child needs surgery" may be some of the most frightening words a parent ever hears. Here, we know that when it comes to surgery, children are not little adults but, need gentle and special care. The pediatric surgery team provides high-quality, compassionate, and family-centered care for infants, children, and adolescents. We also help counsel parents who are expecting a baby who has been diagnosed, before birth, with a birth defect that may require surgery. In addition, we offer a Kessler Burn & Trauma Center.

We provide care for pediatric patients through the age of 15 years. We perform a wide variety of surgical procedures including:

• Treatment of congenital malformations
• Abdominal and thoracic surgery
• Minimally invasive surgery
