Research in the Division of Pediatric Surgery has grown tremendously over the past several years. The Division is committed to outstanding clinical outcomes and identifying potential areas of basic science breakthroughs for infants with surgical diseases.

The basic science research programs are investigating causes and treatments for various intestinal diseases including short gut, intestinal atresia and Hirschprung’s disease.
