你好，

本周，我们聚焦小儿手术系。该部门由凯文·拉利（Kevin Lally）博士领导，该部门拥有33名外科医生（与其他部门共享12名外科医生），五名研究教师以及10名医师助理，7名护士从业者，四名灌注者，3名研究员，6名研究居民，75名员beplay苹果手机能用吗工，75名员工，75名员工，和物理治疗师。该部门的目标很简单，但崇高 - 成为美国前五名儿童外科计划之一。

六个分区由以下酋长领导：医学博士Kuojen Tsao的一般和胸小儿手术；CPNP-AC Lisa Sansalone的儿科急性护理从业人员；小儿神经外科，医学博士David Sandberg；小儿塑料和颅面手术，马里兰州马修·格雷夫（Matthew Greives）；小儿先天性心脏手术，医学博士Jorge Salazar；和小儿泌尿科，医学博士劳伦斯·塞塞克。该部门与其他部门的儿科专家密切合作，包括儿科骨科手术，马里兰州阿尔弗雷德·曼苏尔（Alfred Mansour）；小儿耳鼻喉科，医学博士Soham Roy；和小儿麻醉，医学博士Maria Matuszczak。

The department serves its patients across Houston-area hospitals, including Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, LBJ General Hospital, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Memorial Hermann Southwest, Memorial Hermann The Woodlands (telemedicine), Memorial Hermann Memorial City, Woman’s Hospital, Shriner’s Hospital, and Driscoll Children’s Hospital. Faculty and staff provide outpatient care at the UT Professional Building, LBJ General Hospital, One Fannin Center, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Memorial Hermann Memorial City, The Woodlands Neurosurgery Clinic, UT Physicians Pearland, Memorial Hermann Sugarland, Gramercy Surgical Center, and UT Physicians Katy. They also provide emergency room services at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, LBJ General Hospital, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Woman’s Hospital, and via telemedicine at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands.

The department offers a full breadth of clinical programs, providing our community a specialized trauma center, congenital heart program, fetal center, craniofacial/cleft program, intestinal rehabilitation program, and programs specializing in pediatric brain tumors, vascular anomalies, and colorectal surgery. In addition to hospital and clinic-based care, the department is at the forefront of building innovative telemedicine and home-based care programs.

It is important to recognize that the Department of Pediatric Surgery cares for patients independent of ability to pay. In FY19, Medicaid was the main payer (60%). Revenues primarily include Memorial Hermann Hospital contract income and pro fees from MSRDP general.

研究的主要领域是干细胞疗法和再beplay苹果手机能用吗生医学，质量和安全性，神经肿瘤和神经成像以及临床试验。该部门正在进行研究方案和临床试验。beplay苹果手机能用吗

The Program in Children’s Regenerative Medicine is led by Dr. Charles S. Cox, Jr. The program specifically focuses on innovative cell and tissue engineering techniques to treat congenital and acquired defects in children. Traumatic injuries lead to significant morbidity and mortality, particularly among children, adolescents, and young adults. More specifically, traumatic brain injury (TBI) contributes to half of all trauma-related deaths and frequent, devastating prolonged morbidity, imposing a huge economic impact on individuals and society. There is no current treatment to reverse the cellular destruction associated with TBI. Cellular therapy is a burgeoning field of experimental treatment that has shown promise in the management of many diseases, including TBI. The overarching objective of our clinical, translational, and basic science program is to explore the therapeutic potential of cellular therapy for traumatic brain injury.

Kuojen Tsao博士指导外科试验和循证实践中心（C-Step），该中心是一项多学科计划beplay苹果手机能用吗，指导，资源和资金进行高质量研究。beplay苹果手机能用吗C步骤的目标是培养和发展对临床研究感兴趣的外科教师，教职员工和医学生，并提高手术证据基础及其在临床实践中的应用。beplay苹果手机能用吗

先天性隔膜疝（CDH）研究小组是一个国际中心联盟，前瞻性地收集和自愿贡献有关他们管理的活出生CDH患者的数据。这些数据汇编以形成一个注册表，任何参与中心都可以用来回答特定的临床问题并监控结果。

大卫·桑德伯格（David Sandberg）博士的儿科脑肿瘤的新型治疗方法，他是目前在UTHEADAL中进行的几项临床试验的主要研究者，该试验正在研究将化学疗法输送到大脑的方法。

Dr. Stephen Fletcher’s research interests include Chiari malformation in children, comparative studies of canine and pediatric brain tumors, medical management of trauma-associated brain swelling, and attempts at culturing brain tumor cell lines in collaboration with The University of Texas MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Center.

Manish Shah博士的研究侧重beplay苹果手机能用吗于儿科epilepsy surgery, selective dorsal rhizotomy for spasticity, pediatric cranial and spinal trauma, pediatric cranial and spinal tumors, endoscopic and open treatment of craniofacial disorders, endoscopic and open treatment of hydrocephalus, pediatric cranial and spinal vascular malformations, and pediatric craniocervical spinal abnormalities.

马修·格雷夫（Matthew Greivebeplay苹果手机能用吗s）博士的研究重点是颅面和裂缝异常患者的外科手术结果以及转化组织工程解决方案，以帮助这些患者。

beplay苹果手机能用吗在过去三年中，研究支出增长了11％，鉴于这种竞争性环境，这是令人印象深刻的。

该部正在积极从事教育。医学学生的教学包括三年级的医学生核心，四年级选修课，并每年接待约20个夏季实验室学生。小儿手术为许多居住提供了核心轮换，并提供了非常有竞争力的奖学金。

请与我一起感谢Lally博士和我们的儿科外科部对儿童和家庭的奉献精神。他们是为我们最脆弱和最宝贵的资源（我们的孩子）提供复杂和专业的护理的专家。

温暖的问候，
