Outpatient Pediatric Surgery

When your child needs surgery, you want care that is safe, convenient and focused on their comfort. At Banner Health, our caring pediatric surgery teams are here to help your child recover and return to everyday life as quickly as possible. Whether your child is dealing with a common illness, an ear infection or an injury from a sports game, our outpatient pediatric surgery services provide advanced care close to home. 

What is pediatric outpatient surgery? 

Outpatient surgery means your child can have a procedure without staying overnight in the hospital. Thanks to medical advances, many surgeries that once required hospitalization can now be performed safely in outpatient centers. At Banner Surgery Centers, we offer a wide range of pediatric outpatient procedures, including: 

  • Ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgery 
  • General pediatric surgery 
  • Urology procedures 
  • Gastroenterology (GI) procedures 
  • Orthopedic and sports medicine surgery 
  • Ophthalmology procedures 

Based on your child’s needs and your doctor’s recommendation, surgery may be scheduled at a hospital or at one of our dedicated pediatric outpatient surgery centers.
