Pediatric surgeons perform many advanced surgeries at Banner Children’s Hospital at Banner Desert Medical Center, often using minimally invasive techniques that:

• speed healing
• shorten hospital stays
• reduce pain and discomfort

Banner Children's Hospital at Banner Desert Medical Center is the only hospital offering pediatric robotic surgery with the DaVinci Robot.

Before surgery, our pre-operative area has created a dedicated space for children, with games and other activities to keep them occupied during their preparation surgery.

We also offer a surgical Child LIfe Specialist who reviews the surgery, pre- and post-procedures with you and your child, including a tour of the area, to calm anxiety and provide some understanding about the child's hospital stay.
