Achievements of Schneider, confirming the world level of the center
Schneider specialists are the first in Israel and the world:
- performed endoscopic correction of a cleft larynx in a premature baby weighing 2.5 kg;
- began to perform video capsule endoscopy in children under 2 years of age;
- began to correct mitral stenosis under local anesthesia;
- implanted a defibrillator in a four-month-old baby;
- performed open heart surgery on an 800-gram premature baby in 2006;

- performed multiple transplantations of a whole complex of organs (small and large intestines, liver, pancreas) in a 16-year-old patient in 2008.
One of the new achievements of Schneider was in 2022. Doctors began to use a unique technology in children with diabetes - Medtronic's “artificial pancreas”. This is a high-tech device that is implanted in a child and performs an automatic and continuous assessment of blood glucose levels with accurate insulin administration. The development significantly improves the quality of life in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes aged 7 to 18 years.

What innovative research methods are used at Schneider Children's Hospital?
Shneider is a leader in Israel and in the world in the quality and safety of medical care for children, as well as in scientific research in the field of pediatrics. This is confirmed by accreditation by JCI, an international organization for assessing the quality and safety of medical institutions.
The hospital uses modern diagnostic methods, depending on the age, type and stage of the disease in a child. Among the most relevant:
- Analysis for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a protein that is produced by the fetus during pregnancy. Normally, it is absent in children and adults. Elevated levels of AFP may indicate the presence of hepatoblastoma, a tumor of the liver in children.
- Aspiration and/or bone marrow biopsy are procedures in which a small amount of bone marrow is taken from the bone for microscopic examination. This helps to determine the presence and type of leukemia (blood cancer) in children.
- Imaging studies in Shneider are methods that allow you to get an image of the internal organs and tissues of the child. These include: ultrasound, X-ray, CT, MRI, PET, scintigraphy and others. These studies help to detect tumors, metastases, congenital heart defects and other diseases.
- Fetal echocardiography is an ultrasound examination of the fetal heart, which allows you to detect congenital heart defects at an early stage and take appropriate therapeutic measures.
- Novel gene analysis (SOBP) is a genetic test aimed at identifying the cause of mental retardation in children. This gene was discovered in the Schneider clinic for the first time in the world.
- The CRIT-LINE blood volume monitor is a technology that allows you to monitor blood volume in children during hemodialysis. This helps prevent complications associated with changes in blood volume.
What are the features of the treatment of leukemia in children at the Schneider Clinic?
Leukemia in children is treated at the Schneider Children’s Oncology and Hematology Center, which is the largest and most modern in Israel. Doctors use effective and safe methods of treatment, which depend on the stage and type of oncological process. Among the most relevant methods are:
Chemotherapy. The Schneider Clinic uses the latest generation of cytostatics, which are aimed at destroying cancer cells or stopping their growth. To do this, use injections, tablets or droppers.- A bone marrow or stem cell transplant is a treatment in which healthy bone marrow or stem cells are transferred into a child’s body to restore the child’s ability to produce blood. The procedure may be needed after high-dose chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
- Targeted Therapy – Treatment targets specific molecules or genes that are responsible for the development and growth of cancer cells. Targeted therapy may be effective for some types of childhood leukemia, such as chronic myeloid leukemia.
- Immunotherapy is a treatment that stimulates a child’s immune system to help it fight cancer cells. This technique is effective in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The chances of recovery in children with leukemia depend on many factors, such as the type and stage of the disease, the age and general condition of the child. Early treatment is of particular importance.
Overall, the prognosis for children with leukemia has improved over the past decades thanks to advances in diagnosis and therapy by Shneider’s specialists. For example, children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia have a 90% chance of recovery.
How is a bone marrow transplant performed at the Schneider Clinic?
A bone marrow transplant at Shneider is a procedure for the transfer of healthy hematopoietic cells or hematopoietic stem cells from one body to another in order to restore or improve bone marrow function.
This procedure is vital for patients suffering from certain forms of blood cancer, inherited hematopoietic disorders or severe diseases of the immune system.
Transplantation can be autologous (the child’s own cells) or allogeneic (donor’s cells).
Bone marrow transplantation at the Schneider Children’s Medical Center consists of several stages:
- Donor matching is an opportunity to use the help of a relative or unrelated donor from the international registry. The Schneider clinic has its own stem cell bank, which facilitates the search for a donor.
- Preparing for a transplant. The child is examined and receives chemotherapy or radiation therapy, which destroys abnormal cells and suppresses the immune system. This is necessary to prevent rejection of the transplanted cells.
- Collection and storage of cells. Bone marrow cells or stem cells are collected from the donor by puncture of the pelvic bones or through a vein after stimulation of stem cell production. These cells are then checked for quality and stored under special conditions until transplanted.
- Cell transplant. The procedure lasts from 30 minutes to several hours. The transplanted cells in the bone marrow begin to produce new blood cells.
- Recovery after transplant. After the procedure, the child is under the supervision of doctors and nurses in an isolation room to protect him from infections. The child receives medication to support the immune system and prevent complications. Recovery can take from several weeks to several months.
What kinds of heart surgeries for children are performed at the Shneider Medical Center?
Treatment of congenital and acquired heart defects in children depends on the type, degree and severity of the pathology. Also, experts take into account the age and individual characteristics of the child’s body.
Children’s heart surgeries at the Institute of Pediatric Cardiology at the Schneider Clinic are performed in several ways:
Cardiac catheterization. This is a minimally invasive procedure in which special instruments or devices are inserted through a catheter to treat certain heart defects without opening the chest. Cardiac catheterization may be used to close atrial or ventricular septal defects, or to dilate narrowed valves or vessels. To remove abnormal vascular ligaments or to implant artificial valves. Cardiac catheterization has fewer risks and complications than open heart surgery and requires less recovery time.- Open heart surgery. A more complex surgical intervention, in which the surgeon makes an incision in the chest and connects the child to a heart-lung machine. Open heart surgery may be used to correct complex or combined malformations that are not amenable to catheterization or other treatments. Open surgery may involve repair or replacement of valves, septa, vessels, or other structures of the heart.
To control the quality of surgical intervention at the Shneider clinic, three-dimensional echocardiography is used. With the help of ultrasound waves, a three-dimensional image of the heart and its structures is created. 3D echocardiography can more accurately determine the size, shape, and position of a heart defect, as well as evaluate the function of the heart valves and ventricles.
