Little miracles: The benefits of minimally invasive surgery
If your child needs surgery, you want the procedure to be as quick and pain-free as possible. In many cases, minimally invasive surgical procedures lead to faster recovery and less stress for the patient, and the parents.
Sherwood Surgical Center
Sherwood Surgical Center at GBMC opened in 1979 as Maryland's first ambulatory surgical center, named after Virginia Sherwood, a founding member of GBMC. It is the primary location for outpatient surgeries and procedures. The Center houses nine operating rooms and has the capability of performing a wide variety of outpatient and inpatient procedures. Extra emphasis is placed on pediatric patients, as the center provides dedicated pediatric surgeons, nurses and anesthesiologists.
