CHKD Surgery Program
Does your child have an upcoming surgery at CHKD? This short video will give your child an idea of what to expect on surgery day by showing what the hospital looks like and introducing some of the people your child might meet.
Pre-Procedure Testing for COVID-19
To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, patients having designated procedures, surgery, sedation, or anesthesia at a CHKD facility must be tested for the SARS-CoV-2 virus before their procedure. The test can be done at any of our laboratory locations on a walk-in basis. No
appointment is required. Click here for a list of testing locations and additional information prior to your surgery appointment.
About Our Surgery Program
When it comes to children, there’s no such thing as minor surgery. That's why Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters' unique pediatric surgery program is designed to make children and parents comfortable with the entire surgery experience.
Whether it’s an outpatient
ear, nose, and throat procedure or major
craniofacial reconstruction, safety dominates every surgical decision from start to finish at CHKD.
That’s one reason why the American College of Surgeons (ACS) granted CHKD the highest level of certification for pediatric surgical care. The certification makes
CHKD one of 15 pediatric surgical centers nationwide to attain Level 1 Children’s Surgery Verification from the ACS, an organization dedicated to raising the standards of surgical care in the United States.
To receive this prestigious certification, the hospital’s surgical program, which includes the
main hospital in Norfolk and surgery centers at
Concert Drive in Virginia Beach and
Oyster Point in Newport News, met rigorous criteria for staffing, training, facility features, and protocols for care.
Inpatient and Outpatient Surgical Care
At our
main hospital in Norfolk, we provide inpatient and outpatient surgical care from the most complex surgeries to very minor outpatient procedures. We also offer outpatient procedures for patients by surgical specialists at our
Health and Surgery Center at Oyster Point in Newport News and our
Health and Surgery Center at Concert Drive in Virginia Beach.
Surgical Specialties
In addition to six surgical specialties --
cardiac surgery,
neurosurgery,
orthopedic surgery,
pediatric surgery,
plastic surgery and
urological surgery -- pediatric
ear, nose and throat surgeons and
eye surgeons also operate at CHKD.
Child-Centered Care
The pediatric surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses who provide care through CHKD's Surgical Program are committed to quality care and excellence in a child-centered environment.
