SAN DIEGO: An 11-member team of San Diego doctors, nurses and other surgical staff members is scheduled to perform 20 operations on children with heart defects during a 10-day medical mission to Cambodia at the end of the month.

The team consists of staffers from Rady Children's Hospital and UCSD Medical Center. The trip, which starts today, is being led by Dr. Paul Grossfeld, a cardiologist at Rady and an assistant adjunct professor at UCSD.

The mission is sponsored by Variety Children's Lifeline, a nonprofit group in Solana Beach that provides medical help to children with treatable heart conditions in developing countries. –K.D.
