The El Paso Children’s Hospital completely changes the lives of infants.
Babies’ who develop craniosynostosis, a condition in which the sutures in the skull close prematurely in infants, requires a specialized procedure to live a normal life.
Doctor David Jimenez is an internationally recognized pediatric neurosurgeon who developed the endoscoptic-assitsted craniectomy.
A process that removes pieces of the skull safely alleviating pressure.
In this case, Dr. Jimenez only needs to make two incisions and requires 50 minutes worth of work from a highly trained team to change the life a baby.
