Professional Statement
Sundeep G. Keswani, M.D., professor in the Division of Pediatric Surgery, is a member of the pediatric surgery and fetal surgery team at Texas Children’s Hospital and the principal investigator for the Texas Children’s Laboratory for Regenerative Tissue Repair. Dr. Keswani completed his adult general surgery training at Louisiana State University in his hometown of New Orleans and completed his pediatric surgery fellowship at St. Louis Children's Hospital and the Washington University School of Medicine. He also completed a research fellowship and fetal surgery fellowship at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Prior to coming to Texas Children’s, Dr. Keswani was an attending surgeon at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Dr. Keswani’s clinical interests are in fetal diagnosis and therapy, neonatal surgery, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, ECMO and pediatric wound care. His NIH-funded laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms of regenerative fetal tissue repair and is actively developing novel therapeutics to achieve postnatal regenerative wound healing.Dr. Keswani is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and the American Academy of Pediatrics. He is certified by the American Board of Surgery in General and Pediatric Surgery.
