Surgery Achievements:
- Rady Children’s is the only designated pediatric trauma center in San Diego and Imperial counties.
- Rady Children’s is among a select group of children’s hospitals performing single-port surgery for appendicitis (operating through the belly button), achieving minimal or no scarring. The single-port method is also used for other procedures, including thoracoscopy, cholecystectomy, nephrectomy, and colon resection.
- Rady Children’s is a Center of Excellence for the Nuss procedure for pectus excavatum (sunken chest).
- Rady Children’s was one of the first hospitals to perform a minimally invasive procedure (laparoendoscopic single-site surgery) that has enabled chronic kidney disease patients to recover faster and be more medically stable for a transplant.
