Welcome to the Surgical Services Web site section for Children’s Hospital of Michigan. We invite you to browse through each clinical service description which includes an overview of the services we provide, the conditions we treat, and new innovations in care. You will also learn about our doctors who provide this care as well as heart warming stories of patients who have been treated at our facility.

Through our academic affiliation with Wayne State University and Michigan State University, Children’s Hospital is an innovator in education and research offering residency and fellowship training as well as extensive research to improve future treatment options for our patients.

From appendectomies to heart transplants, we are proud to offer the state’s widest range of pediatric surgery options with a multidisciplinary team of surgeons and other health care providers delivering an unparalleled level of pediatric surgical care.                                                                                                                

If your child requires surgery, in some cases multidisciplinary care is required – with pediatric surgeons from different subspecialty areas working together to provide the best care to children with complex injuries or congenital anomalies. The availability of these multidisciplinary pediatric surgical teams is one of the many advantages of treatment at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. As an added convenience we are excited to offer outpatient surgery in several specialty areas at the DMC Surgery Hospital in Madison Heights. 

Many innovative surgical and medical technologies are available at Children’s Hospital of Michigan, including robot-assisted minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. Children’s Hospital is also home to Michigan’s top pediatric imaging center. Using advanced imaging technologies and kid-friendly protocols, our pediatric imaging staff are experts at working with children of all ages to get the best images. This can be vitally important in preparation for delicate surgical procedures.

An expert team of pediatric anesthesiologists also supports the surgeons of Children’s Hospital of Michigan. By focusing on children, our anesthesia team is able to provide a precise level of anesthesia or sedation in a kid-friendly environment. Children's Hospital also has its own pain service run by anesthesiologists that are available to assist with post-operative pain management 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We not only provide world class surgical care, we provide services to put our patients as ease. Child Life Specialists work closely with children to help them understand upcoming surgical procedures and the recovery process. For those in need of rehabilitation, pre and post operation rehabilitation services are also available.

The surgeons of Children’s Hospital of Michigan are committed to providing innovative surgical options for the treatment of injury, disease and congenital anomalies. They also work to reduce the need for surgery through a number of injury prevention programs.
