A decade of minimal access pediatric surgery in India
نویسنده
چکیده
Pediatric minimal access surgery (MAS) started in India a decade ago and has a great impact on the way we manage pediatric surgical problems today. The imaginations and creativity of pediatric surgeons across the world have lead to a broad array of surgeries that can now be performed without large incisions. New techniques, procedures, and innovations are always ongoing in this fast-developing field. Indications for MAS have remained the same as they were for open surgery. It has a steep learning curve which is not without complications. However, it has the advantages of a shorter hospital stay, less analgesic requirement after surgery, more rapid return to school, and cosmetic satisfaction.
