With children, there’s no such thing as routine surgery. Children’s bodies are physiologically different than adult’s. For example, they often require specially-sized surgical equipment. They react differently to anesthesia and to pain. Their bodies respond differently to illness and treatment, in part because they are still growing.
That’s why children benefit from our highly accomplished, pediatric-specific surgery team. At Children’s, over 20,000 surgeries are performed every year on newborns, children, adolescents, and young adults from throughout the Upper Midwest.
At Children’s, parents are involved in all aspects of care because we know that family members play a vital role in a child’s ability to recover. For example, whenever safely possible, parents have the option of being present during induction of anesthesia in order to minimize children’s anxiety.
