Welcome to the pediatric neurosurgery home page at
the Medical College of Georgia. We’d like to tell you about our program as well
as inform you about and provide links for common pediatric neurosurgical
conditions.
Pediatric neurosurgery encompasses the spectrum from prenatal evaluation and
counseling, to treatment of a premature infant, through treatment into
adolescence. We also treat developmental anomalies that can present in
adulthood, such as tethered cord. We have the expertise and the facility to
provide the highest standard of care for children with neurosurgical issues.
Given the complex nature of many pediatric neurosurgical conditions, our
division promotes a team approach to preoperative evaluation, perioperative care
and surgical intervention. We work closely with pediatric neurologists,
epileptologists, and other pediatric subspecialists, such as urologists,
endocrinologists, orthopedists, plastic surgeons, and oncologists in order to
provide comprehensive care to our patients. Our primary goal and motivation is
to ensure that all of our patients have the opportunity to reach their greatest
potential.
