If an operation is necessary once your baby's born, you’ll be able to meet with your surgeon(s) well before the delivery so we can address all of your questions and concerns ahead of time.
Our surgical staff is made up of highly trained pediatric specialists—including board-certified surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nurses—dedicated entirely to pediatric surgery in even the tiniest of patients.
Surgery is usually performed at the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. However, in some cases, our specialists can address the problem at one of our partner hospitals. If needed, our Critical Care Transport Team can also safely and promptly transfer your baby by ambulance or helicopter to duPont Hospital for Children from most area hospitals so your newborn can receive care or surgery from the specialists you’ve been consulting with during your pregnancy.
