Of particular interest to the surgical team of the department are surgical interventions for benign and malignant tumors in children, injuries, burns, and rare childhood diseases. The department has the status of a Competence Center for Pediatric Trauma Surgery and is part of the Trauma Network in Hamburg with certification from the German Trauma Society (DGU).

The department's specialists operate on newborns, including premature infants, young children, and adolescents under the age of 18. Surgeons work hand in hand with physicians from other departments at the university hospital, including pediatricians, pediatric oncologists, obstetricians, and trauma surgeons. There are 30 inpatient beds in the department, while minor surgeries are usually performed on an outpatient basis. More than 5,000 surgical procedures are performed in the department's operating rooms each year with excellent results. The medical facility enjoys a reputation as one of the largest and most competent children's clinics in Germany.
