In the SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital' Surgery Department we treat all surgical pathologies with the most innovative techniques.
In the SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital' Surgery Department we treat all surgical pathologies: malformations, infectious, inflammatory or oncological nature from the general, digestive, thoracic, urological, plastic and maxillofacial areas in children and adolescents. This care includes a wide range of procedures, from the simplest, which can be conducted as an outpatient, to the most complex.
The Hospital has an impressive antenatal diagnosis programme, making it possible to plan the most suitable treatment for different congenital pathologies, including fetal therapy intrapartum surgery and postnatal surgery.
In recent years, our Department has been prominent in the implementation and development of different procedures, particularly in minimally invasive surgery. The ultimate aim of these innovative techniques is to obtain the best clinical results, lower surgical aggression, swifter recovery, and the incorporation of patients and their families to normal activity.
