Pediatric Surgery

Based at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, SLUCare pediatric surgeons care for sick and injured children and adolescents from around the St. Louis area and the nation. Our experienced team of experts provides the best possible care in a family-centered, child-friendly environment.

SLUCare pediatric surgeons are specialists in minimally invasive surgery, resulting in smaller scars and faster recovery than with traditional surgery. Some minimally invasive surgeries for children are performed through an incision as small as a keyhole.

In addition, through the SSM Health St. Louis Fetal Care Institute, we are able to perform open and closed procedures on babies in the womb to correct congenital abnormalities.

• Abdominal surgery
