Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocol
In our Pediatric General Surgery Program at CHRISTUS Children's, we want your child's recovery to be as smooth and comfortable as possible. To promote an easier, faster recovery, we use a special approach called Enhanced Recovery After Surgery or ERAS.
Through this method, we focus on reducing pain and helping your child get back to their normal routine sooner. This means less time in the hospital and more time recovering at home with you. We do this by using special techniques before, during, and after surgery that are proven to make recovery quicker and less painful.
Our team is here to support your child every step of the way. We'll make sure they have the best care possible, so they can feel better and get back to doing the things they love sooner. With ERAS, your child's comfort and well-being are our top priorities, because we believe every child deserves a smooth and speedy recovery.

The CHRISTUS Children's team is skilled in a range of minimally invasive techniques, ensuring that each procedure is tailored to meet the specific needs of our young patients.
By prioritizing safety and innovation, we strive to offer the best possible outcomes while minimizing the impact of surgery on your child's life.
