The Division of Pediatric General Surgery at Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center provides evaluation, diagnosis and surgical treatment for a wide variety of surgical problems in children, including newborn congenital anomalies of the intestinal tract and the chest, hernias, treatment of appendicitis, tumors of the chest, abdomen and urinary tract. Pediatric general surgeons also treat soft tissues, traumas and burns. Many of our operations can be performed with minimally invasive techniques, as well as through standard techniques.

A highly-trained, expert team of physicians and caregivers are here to ensure your child receives the very best care possible. Our team of five board certified pediatric surgeons treats children of all ages, including neonates, infants, children and adolescents. We also serve as the primary teaching facility for the University of Tennessee Pediatric Surgery Residency Program.

Le Bonheur Children’s is the only hospital in our area to offer a comprehensive pediatric general surgery program including surgeons, anesthesiologists and specialized nurses and staff dedicated to the care of infants and children.

The program also includes many child and family friendly components including the Bunny Room and a pre-operative teaching program.
