Plastic Surgery division
Surgery for traumatic injuries

Plastic surgery specialists work with other surgical divisions, including trauma services, in many situations involving traumatic injury, burn scar repair, tumor excision, scar tissue, skin infections and I.V. infiltration wounds.

Texas Children’s is a leader among pediatric hospitals in the microsurgical management of highly complex, difficult wounds. Plastic surgery techniques can be vital to saving a child’s life or providing a child with a much better life.

We work with very rare cases, including separating conjoined twins, to much more common instances like treating a child before and after a tumor is removed.

Taking a multidisciplinary approach and providing the very latest in surgical techniques and physical therapy, the plastic surgery division is at the forefront of developing new and innovative therapies in the treatment of traumatic injuries, including microvascular surgery and free-tissue transfer.
