Cardiothoracic Surgery
Overview
The Cardiorespiratory Unit is one of the world’s largest paediatric cardiovascular and respiratory centres.
We provide the complete spectrum of child heart surgery services for children with congenital and acquired heart disease, as well as specialist tracheal surgery, thoracic surgery and chest wall reconstruction.
In recent years, we have treated more children with congenital heart disease than ever before, and with excellent results.
