About:
Inception and Vision of the Department of Pediatric Surgery-
The inception of the Department of Pediatric Surgery transpired in the year 2017 with the incorporation of a single faculty member. Its establishment is underpinned by a visionary commitment to advance the field of pediatric surgery and its sub-specialties through systematic training and research endeavors. The overarching objective is to furnish pediatric surgical patients with healthcare characterized by evidence-based practices, ethical considerations, state-of-the-art methodologies, and financial accessibility.
Current Structure and Services-
The department currently comprises six faculty members, along with senior and junior residents. It actively provides outpatient department (OPD) services on all weekdays, complemented by specialized clinic sessions. To accommodate the needs of its patients, the department operates a dedicated 20-bed Pediatric Surgery ward, equipped with a six-bed high dependency unit (HDU). Furthermore, it maintains separate Pediatric Surgical and Neonatal Surgical intensive care units (ICUs), each with an intake capacity of five beds.
Surgical Expertise and Facilities-
The department boasts two state-of-the-art modular Pediatric Surgery theaters, where a diverse range of surgical procedures are routinely performed. These procedures encompass neonatal surgeries, gastrointestinal (GI) surgeries, cancer surgeries, thoracic surgeries, urological surgeries, and advanced and routine minimal access surgeries, including laparoscopy, bronchoscopy, and cystoscopy. The department is well-equipped with cutting-edge surgical equipment and anticipates commencing robotic procedures within the next year.
Notably, an advanced Video Urodynamic Study Lab is integral to the departments infrastructure.
Academic Excellence and Research-
The department has received approval to conduct a three-year MCh course in Pediatric Surgery, effective from January 2021, with an intake capacity of two trainees every six months. Additionally, a six-year direct MCh program, also with an intake of two trainees per annum, is set to commence from the July 2024 academic session.
The department has published more than 25 research papers in reputed indexed journals in last 3 years. At present following projects are running in the department-
