Dear Colleagues and Esteemed Guests,

With immense pride and joy, Dept. of Pediatric Surgery welcomes you to the Advancing Pediatric Minimally Access Surgery 2025 Conference. This event stands as a testament to our collective commitment to advancing the frontiers of pediatric surgical care through innovation, collaboration, and education.

Over the years, our department has witnessed remarkable growth, particularly after transitioning to the Mother and Child Block, which now provides an enhanced infrastructure with increased bed capacity, state-of-the-art operation theatres, and advanced facilities—all under one roof. This transformation has not only elevated the quality of patient care but also significantly expanded our capabilities in pediatric minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Today, our surgical output in MIS surpasses what was achieved a decade ago, reflecting the dedication and expertise of our team.

This conference is designed to build on this legacy, offering a dynamic platform to explore the latest advancements in pediatric laparoscopy, thoracoscopy and urology. From focused lectures, operative videos, and expert panel discussions to quiz and free paper sessions, the program promises an enriching experience for all participants. Our distinguished faculty, both national and international, brings a wealth of knowledge that will inspire and equip you to integrate these cutting-edge techniques into your practice.

We look forward to your active participation in celebrating progress and working toward a brighter future in pediatric surgery.
