Paediatric Surgical Unit

In the Paediatric Surgical Unit (PSU) we see children up to 16 years old, and sometimes above, with a range of surgical problems or suspected disease.

Children can come to us from South Yorkshire and the surrounding area or from anywhere in the UK.

Our specialist services include:

• neonatal surgery
• oncological including haematological and vascular surgery
• thoracic and upper gastrointestinal (GI) surgery
• lower gastrointestinal (GI) surgery
• urology

A minimally invasive approach

PSU aims to offer a minimally invasive approach to as many surgical procedures as possible.

This approach is routinely offered for:

• appendectomy
• treatment of pyloric stenosis
• tongue ties
• treatment of lung and chest lesions
• fundoplication
• cholecystectomy
• removal of kidneys and pyeloplasty
• surgery for inflammatory bowel disease

We also provide antenatal counselling for suspected congenital anomalies.
