Welcome! Welcome to the American Pediatric Surgical Association (APSA) Web site. This site was created to serve our members (almost all pediatric surgeons in the United States and Canada), our patients and their families. The articles and resources that are highlighted on the APSA Web site provide rapid links to the most important new information useful for practicing pediatric surgeons.  These resources are also designed to provide background for families whose children are undergoing complex or common pediatric surgical procedures.  For more information about pediatric surgeons and their qualifications, use the information on this Web site.  Caregivers who are seeking a pediatric surgeon can use the APSA Member search engine. Read the complete statement. Michael Harrison, MD President, 2008-2009
