Minimally Invasive Surgery (Laprascopy and Robotic)

Minimally invasive surgery is the standard of care for treatment of most intra-abdominal pediatric urological conditions. At Covenant Children's, in addition to offering laparoscopic surgery, we host a DaVinci Robot that our urologists can use to perform minimally invasive surgeries.

Minimally invasive surgery has a host of benefits such as reduction in postoperative pain, decrease in the duration of hospitalization, shortened recovery time, and improvement in the appearance of scars.​

In addition to minimally invasive surgery, our pediatric urology patients are supported by a team of Certified Child Life Specialists who provide evidence-based, developmentally and psychologically appropriate interventions including therapeutic play, preparation for procedures, and education to reduce fear, anxiety, and pain.
