Pediatric General Surgery
Our pediatric general surgeons provide a wide array of procedures for thousands of children each year. Many of these procedures are completed using minimally invasive techniques - such as laparoscopy, endoscopy and needlescopy - reducing recovery times and scarring.

In addition, Akron Children’s is also 1 of only 3 hospitals in the U.S. that offer gastric electrical stimulation to treat gastroparesis in children. Gastroparesis occurs when the abdominal nerves are paralyzed and unable to pump food through the body. With gastric electrical stimulation, physicians implant a device similar to a pacemaker that tells the stomach to squeeze, helping push the food through the intestines.
Our staff provides support through the entire surgical process from hospitalization through discharge and home care. From anesthesiologists to dietitians, all of our clinicians have specialized knowledge and training in the care and treatment of children. This collaboration allows us to develop the best possible plan of care for your child – from the first clinic visit through surgery and follow-up.
We exclusively train and perform surgery on kids. So we know that their diseases, symptoms and even the way they react to surgery differ from adults. We tailor everything – from anesthesia to IV fluids – to their size and stage of growth.
We also know the importance of caring for their emotional needs. Our pediatric surgeons examine and treat children in a way that makes them relaxed and cooperative, and they use equipment and facilities specifically designed for children. We also believe families are an important part of our care team and encourage you to participate with doctors and nurses in your child’s care plan.

What families are saying...…
“My son is a 6-year-old with Autism. He had a dental procedure one on Friday 11/15/24. With his autism, he became very antsy after a 2 hour wait. He then began to have an extreme meltdown. It was very hard for my husband and me. Our son was doing okay waiting however, it got to be about 2 hours, and he could not hand on any longer. He had not eaten and did not have his medications. Needless to say, that it was very difficult for my husband and me. The OR staff stepped right in to help. They took our son around, giving us a much-needed break...and were kind and caring to all of us.”
