Dr. Andreana Bütter completed medical school at the University of Ottawa and residency in General Surgery at Western University. During residency, she also pursued a year of research at the Montreal Children’s Hospital in pediatric surgery; specifically in the area of fetal surgery and congenital diaphragmatic hernia. This research culminated in her obtaining a Master of Science Degree from McGill University in 2001. Upon completing her General Surgery residency, she returned to Montreal for a Pediatric Surgery fellowship at Sainte Justine Hospital (Université de Montréal), which she completed in 2005. She then joined the Division of Pediatric Surgery and the Department of Pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital (LHSC) as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery. In 2012, she was promoted to Associate Professor. She assumed the role of Associate Director of Surgical Education in July 2014. She is also a review editor for Frontiers in Pediatric Surgery journal.

Her clinical areas of interest include Pediatric Thoracic and General Surgery, such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia, bracing for pectus carinatum, nonoperative management of appendicitis and minimally invasive surgery. She helped develop the first Canadian Robotic Pediatric Surgery program. Her research interests are in the areas of fetal surgery with minimally invasive ways of correcting or improving outcomes for congenital anomalies such as bladder outlet obstruction and congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
