Biosketch

After completing general surgery residency at Duke University Medical Center and pediatric surgery fellowship at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Brian Englum, MD joined the division of pediatric surgery at the University of Maryland with an interest in expanding the applications of minimally invasive surgery in all aspects pediatric care, including complex neonatal anomalies, pediatric thoracic lesions, childhood cancer and colorectal disease. The applications of laparoscopic, thoracoscopic, and robotic surgery in children are still being explored, but excellent outcomes that reduce pain and scarring have been shown from teenagers to infants in our neonatal intensive care unit.

Dr. Englum is also active in using electronic medical records and big data analysis to better understand pediatric surgical care. Due to the rare nature of most pediatric diseases, the ability to evaluate patient experiences from all over the United States or throughout the world can dramatically improve our understanding of these diseases. Dr. Englum applies novel analytic methods to help pediatric surgeons across the country as well as his own patients develop expectations and make decisions about surgery for our most precious patients -our children.
