Division
of Pediatric Surgery
 Welcome
to the division of Pediatric surgery at the Medical University of
South Carolina. Thank you for choosing our pediatric surgery team
and the MUSC Children's Hospital to care for your child. Our staff
of surgeons, residents, physician assistants, nurses, anesthesiologists,
nurse anesthetists, and child life specialists will provide expert
care, ensuring that this experience is a very good one for your
child and family. We will do everything possible to earn your trust
and confidence by making your time here safe, comfortable and positive.
We are committed to providing the best possible care to infants
and children in need of our expertise.
Our division
of Pediatric Surgery at MUSC was established more than 40 years
ago under the leadership of Dr. H. Biemann Othersen. The division
has been recognized for its innovative patient care initiatives
and significant contributions to the field of children's surgery.
Over the years, many new and advanced surgical techniques were developed
by surgeons in our division and passed-on to residents and surgeons
in-training. We have always been supportive of the educational mission
of the medical center and many of our general surgical residents
have become successful pediatric surgeons. We strive for excellence
in teaching and patient care.
The division
of Pediatric Surgery is now under the leadership of Dr. André Hebra,
a former graduate of MUSC who obtained his training in Pediatric
Surgery at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Dr. Hebra is
a pioneer in the field of minimal access pediatric and robotic surgery
and his dynamic leadership combined with excellence in patient care
is poised to take the pediatric surgical services at MUSC to a new
level of achievement and recognition.
