We’re home to a top-rated hospital for neurosurgery. 91´óÉñ Children’s Hospital, Delaware is one of the top-rated hospitals for neurology and neurosurgery care, according to U.S. News & World Report rankings.


We use the least invasive surgical techniques possible. We have expertise with neuroendoscopy, which uses very small incisions (cuts) and uses tiny tools to fix many problems. For kids, it means faster recovery time, less pain, and minimal scarring.


We treat hydrocephalus in innovative ways. Hydrocephalus, a build-up of spinal fluid in the brain, is a common reason children need neurosurgery. We can treat hydrocephalus even in small infants.


We’re at the forefront of treating skeletal dysplasia. Our neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons work closely to treat children with skeletal dysplasia and many severe spinal conditions. We are among the top in the world for our work in these areas.


We take a team approach to all neurology and neurosurgery care. Our neurosurgeons are part of a team that includes many specialties, assembled around whatever your child needs. This can include orthopedists (bones, muscles and joints), cancer doctors, physical therapists, behavioral health experts and others.
