Our specially-trained pediatric surgeons provide a range of surgical care for newborn infants, children, and adolescents up to the age of 17 years. They treat both congenital and acquired diseases of the neck, chest, abdomen, and soft tissues. Among the operations they perform are repair of inguinal hernias in infants less than 1 year of age (as well as older children); repair of undescended testes in young infants; newborn surgery related to alimentary tract obstruction and lung, diaphragm, abdominal or neck abnormalities; surgery for infant or childhood tumors; and surgery for gastrointestinal disease. Both conventional "open" operations and many of the minimally invasive operations are performed. The inpatient facilities available to our Pediatric Surgery Service include the only pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) on Suffolk County's north shore. To ensure a good hospital experience for children and their families, we provide orientation tours and teach the children and their families about their operations, so that they feel comfortable about them.
Our Surgery practice includes physicians with specialized training and a focus on the evaluation and surgical treatment of pediatric patients. To find a doctor that treats these patients, please click Find a Doctor and choose the doctor that best fits your need.
