Paediatric surgery

Our paediatric surgical service consists of outpatient clinics, day surgery and providing surgical opinion in A&E and on the wards.

We work in partnership with St George's NHS Trust to provide an outstanding service which ensures surgical care can take place as close to home as possible, reducing your travel to the surgical centre.

We carry out all types of paediatric surgery; mostly day surgery but also some inpatient surgery for orthopaedics and general surgery. We also carry out paediatric dental surgery when general anaesthetic is required, as this can no longer be carried out in the community.

Parents are able to escort their child to theatre (some children choose to drive themselves there in our electric cars), leaving only after he or she has gone to sleep. Parents can then wait in the parents' room while the surgery takes place, and re-join their child as soon as they come out of surgery.
