Dean M. Anselmo

Dean M. Anselmo serves as an Associate Professor of Clinical Surgery at the Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, with clinical practice based at Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). His expertise centers on complex pediatric surgical conditions, particularly vascular and lymphatic malformations requiring specialized multidisciplinary management.

His research focuses on critical areas within pediatric surgery:

• Vascular Malformations: Investigating hemangiomas, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, and arteriovenous malformations through surgical excision and sclerotherapy protocols
• Lymphatic Disorders: Developing evidence-based approaches for abdominal and cervicofacial lymphatic malformations using minimally invasive techniques
• Neonatal Surgical Outcomes: Analyzing complications in low birth weight infants undergoing enterostomy closure and congenital defect repairs
• Minimally Invasive Innovation: Pioneering laparoscopic and thoracoscopic methods for cholecystectomy, esophagectomy, and splenic procedures in children

His publication trajectory (2016-2025) reveals consistent advancement in vascular anomaly management, emphasizing doxycycline sclerotherapy efficacy, multidisciplinary care models, and surgical outcome optimization for rare conditions like NTRK-rearranged tumors and catastrophic hemangiomas. This work directly informs clinical protocols for complex pediatric cases.
