Children's Surgery

Main Content

Forever and Ever for Kids, with surgical teams specially trained in pediatrics.

At Children’s of Mississippi, our medical team understands that children are not miniature adults. Children have specialized needs, both physical and emotional. We are dedicated to making your child feel as comfortable as possible while reducing caregivers' concerns and apprehensions.

We have pediatric surgeons and physicians that specialize in anesthesiology, general surgery, urology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, cardiothoracic, interventional cardiology, neurosurgery, dentistry, gastroenterology, craniofacial, orthopedics, plastic surgery, pulmonology, hematology, oncology and fetal medicine. Over 10,000 outpatient and inpatient surgeries are performed each year at the state’s only hospital for children.

A state-of-the-art setting equips our team for complex surgical procedures.

When your child requires surgery, you may rest in the idea that pediatric surgeries are performed in the operating suites, housed at the Kathy and Joe Sanderson Tower. These large suites are equipped with advanced technology that support routine and complex surgeries. These surgeries are offered by our world-class surgical teams to all children. After surgery, your child will recover in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) where patients are in sight of the central nurses’ station for careful monitoring.
