Division of Paediatric Surgery

In the Paediatric Surgery division, we combine precision surgical expertise with a deep commitment to caring for young patients. Our team excels in complex congenital anomaly corrections, minimally invasive procedures, and innovative techniques that reduce recovery times and improve long-term outcomes. We have pioneered approaches in neonatal repair and advanced laparoscopic surgery, setting new benchmarks in child surgical care. Our state-of-the-art facilities, including high-fidelity simulation labs and dedicated paediatric operating suites, offer real-world training that prepares every trainee for the challenges of paediatric surgery.

Our department is renowned for breakthroughs in managing congenital disorders and paediatric trauma. Award-winning research has led to novel protocols for conditions such as Hirschsprung disease and biliary atresia, integrating digital surgical planning for greater precision. These accomplishments elevate patient care and inspire future paediatric surgeons to lead with skill and empathy. We are redefining paediatric surgical care for children locally and beyond through rigorous training and transformative research.
