Here for you and your family

We, the pediatric and adolescent surgery team, are there to take care of your sick or injured child from ages 0 to 16 years. You are in good hands with us whether it is an emergency or a planned operation.

We are one of only two independent departments of pediatric surgery in the state of Rheinland-Pfalz and have the ability to provide you with the necessary care from birth onwards. Within the framework of the Perinatal Center we work closely together with the Department of Obstetrics in the Klinikum Mutterhaus.

Our Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Surgery contains a 15 bed unit, separate operating rooms as well as its own outpatient department and sonography.

The routes in the Klinikum Mutterhaus are short as all pediatric and adolescent departments are near to each other. These include:

• Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine with General Pediatrics
• Neonatology
• Neuropediatrics
• Department of Child Psychiatry

Our spectrum includes the diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acute illnesses as well as medical care after accidents. A large part of the operations is performed on an outpatient basis. When inpatient treatment is necessary a parent may stay with the child night and day.
