About the department
The Department of Pediatric Surgery at the Memorial Sisli Hospital Istanbul offers the full range of modern surgical interventions for the treatment of various pathologies in children. The surgeons of the medical facility also provide the surgical treatment of congenital pathologies detected in the fetus at the stage of intrauterine development.
