Pediatric neurosurgery is a medical discipline that deals with the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous system of children. Texas Children’s Hospital ranks fourth in US News & World Report’s ranking of the best pediatric neurology and neurosurgery programs in the country. The hospital continually leads the field by using the latest techniques to treat children with neurological diseases. For instance, Texas Children’s Hospital was the first to employ MRI-guided thermal imaging in order to guide doctors as they used lasers to eliminate brain lesions that caused epilepsy and seizures.
The pediatric neurosurgery unit at Texas Children’s Hospital stands as one of the largest and most experienced in the country. The department performs over 950 operations each year to treat a variety of neurosurgical disorders. In part due to these reasons, the hospital is able to offer a high-quality fellowship experience in pediatric neurosurgery that allows doctors to gain unparalleled training in the field.
