Application of Minimally Invasive Surgeries

Paediatric Surgery and Paediatric Urological Surgery
Over 90% of common surgical operations in infants and children that are traditionally performed via an open approach can now be performed very safely and effectively by minimally invasive surgery approach. These range from the most simple surgery like herniotomy for inguinal hernia and appendectomy for acute appendicitis to complicated procedures including laparoscopic primary pullthrough for Hirschspring's disease, excision of choledochal cyst with hepaticoenterostomy, to various types of complex bladder surgery. Children could benefit more from these minimally invasive therapy with much less pain & discomfort, as well as shorter hospital stay that alleviates separation anxiety, and quicker return to normal school activities. The surgeries include:
Laparoscopic Hernia Repair (**Hernia)
Laparoscopic Fundoplication (** Gastroesophageal Reflux)
Pneumovesical Ureteric Reimplantation (**Vesicoureteric Reflux)
Laparoscopic Primary Pullthrough for Hirschsprung's Disease (** Hirschsprung's Disease)
Excision of Choledochal Cyst with Hepaticoenterostomy (** Choledochal Cyst)
** Target Disease
