General Surgery

The General Surgery Division provides surgical treatment for head and neck, thoracic, digestive, and oncologic diseases for children of all ages. The division plays an active role in the treatment of birth defects, traumatic injuries, and vascular access, including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
 
The general surgeons also provide care through the Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) Program. This program performs about 150 laparoscopic and thoracoscopic procedures annually, including:
  • appendectomy
  • splenectomy
  • fundoplication
  • adrenalectomy
  • thymectomy
  • lung and mediastinal tumour biopsy and resection
Members are active in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, research, regional and international child health advocacy, and hospital quality assurance.
