A Care Team You Can Trust
- Quick and Pain-Free Diagnosis Through Ultrasound
-
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. We couldn’t agree more. Especially when that picture gives us a peek inside your child’s body. Thanks to advanced ultrasound technology, AdventHealth is able to diagnose many pediatric surgery needs without having to make an incision. Even better, the test is fast, painless, and radiation-free, which makes it ideal for children. Once we see what’s going on inside your child's body, we can make a treatment plan and start working toward fixing what’s wrong.
- Conditions That May Require General Pediatric Surgery
-
No matter what type of surgery your child needs, you can trust your expert pediatric surgeons to administer world-class care. We regularly treat the following conditions with general surgery:

- Robot-Assisted and Minimally Surgery for Kids
-
When your child needs surgery, "minimally invasive" are the words you want to hear. It's also comforting to know that your pediatric surgical team is part of a nationally recognized pediatric surgery program. At AdventHealth for Children, we're proud to be one of the world leaders in minimally invasive surgery for children and adolescents. We also are experienced in utilizing the latest robotic-surgery techniques to treat children and we're one of the few children's hospitals to offer robotic surgery for pediatric urological conditions. Thanks to these advances in pediatric surgery, your child can recover more quickly and experience fewer complications than traditional surgery, as many procedures require just a few stitches.
