Paediatric Surgery
Within paediatric surgery, we are the only hepatopancreatobiliary centre, including liver and intestinal transplants, for children in the Netherlands. We have a well-established anorectal function centre where the pelvic floor and anal canal can be functionally mapped. Our main areas of service include neonatal, colorectal, hepatopancreatobiliary and thoracic wall surgery, addressing both congenital and acquired abnormalities. We also maintain excellent multidisciplinary collaboration within UMCG, nationally and internationally through centres of expertise in rare diseases.
Currently, we work with 7 paediatric surgeons and have close cooperation with paediatricians, neonatologists, paediatric ICUs, and adult surgeons. We are part of the Department of Surgery, which includes 55 full-time staff members.
Due to the departure of one of our colleagues, we are looking for an experienced new staff member.
