As the name suggests, the Pediatric General Surgery Department at El Paso Children’s Hospital handles many of the more common surgical procedures needed to keep kids healthy, from appendectomies to complex repairs after serious traumatic injuries.
At El Paso Children’s Hospital, General Surgery basically acts as “front line” surgical care for the hospital, performing any surgical procedure that doesn’t fall to more specialized departments like Cardiology, Neurosurgery, Orthopedics or the Ear, Nose & Throat Clinic. In cases that do require more specialized surgeries, General Surgery often serves as a referral point to help patients and their families access those services.
