Surgery

Children may need surgery for many different reasons—from basic procedures to more complex, life-saving treatment. Our pediatric surgeons at Riley Hospital for Children Pediatric Surgery at Indiana University Health are specially trained to care for young patients.

Our physicians have made significant advancements in the field of pediatric surgery. Their contributions have helped us become the first hospital in Indiana to offer extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), refine the minimally invasive Nuss procedure, establish Indiana’s only Level I Pediatric Trauma Center, and support one of the nation’s largest pediatric residency training programs.

We continue today with our commitment to provide your child the best surgical care available. Our surgeons work in multi-disciplinary teams with pediatricians, clinical nurse specialists, case managers, and you to ensure your child’s health needs are addressed in a comprehensive manner.
