Pediatric Surgical Associates will offer abdominal surgery, thoracic surgery, genitourinary surgery, head and neck surgery and laparoscopic surgery, among other services. 

“Previously, outside of ENT procedures, children would need to travel to Dallas or Houston to receive surgical care. Now, they can stay in town —  which is better for the patients, for their families and for their care,” Lynn Wyllie, RN, certified surgical services manager and associate vice president of perioperative services at Christus, told the News-Journal. 

 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
