Paediatric Minimally Invasive Surgery Programme

Overview

Traditionally, surgery involves larger cuts to access the internal area for treatment. Minimally invasive surgery uses smaller incisions and special tools like laparoscopes (tiny cameras) to perform complex procedures with greater precision. The AKUH Paediatric Minimally Invasive Surgery Programme is dedicated to providing children with advanced surgical care using the latest minimally invasive techniques.

Conditions We Treat

Our programme offers minimally invasive surgical options for a wide range of paediatric conditions, including:

  • Appendicitis

  • Hernias (umbilical, inguinal)

  • Gallbladder problems (cholecystitis)

  • Thoracic conditions (congenital cystic lesions, chest wall deformity)

  • Urological conditions (hypospadias, undescended testicles)

  • General surgical procedures (appendectomy, bowel resections)

We understand that surgery can be a stressful time for both children and parents. Our Minimally Invasive Surgery team is committed to providing compassionate care and keeping you involved and informed throughout the process.
