Neurosurgery

 

Children's Hospital Los Angeles is ranked among the top hospitals in the nation for neurosurgery on the U.S. News & World Report Best Children's Hospitals List. About half of all pediatric neurosurgical operations in Los Angeles County are performed by surgeons from our Division of Neurosurgery. This high volume of cases leads to high success rates in treatment with our experts routinely performing surgeries for complex neurological conditions.

Our patients range in age from newborns to young adults. Armed with the latest technologies, the Division provides advanced surgical solutions, with outcome statistics that match or exceed other programs across the nation and beyond.

Because our hospital operates the only Level I Trauma Center in Los Angeles solely for children, our neurosurgeons are well-versed in caring for severely injured children and have pioneered new therapies that are improving surgical outcomes.
