The Department of Pediatric
Surgery at CSMMU began in 1970 as a pediatric
surgical service. This was elevated to a
separate Pediatric Surgery Unit in the Department
of Surgery in 1978 and later to a separate
department in 1998. The newly created department
has Medical Council of India approval for
MCh course in Pediatric Surgery leading
to the degree of MCh in Pediatric Surgery.
Two candidates are admitted every year to
the 3 year course.
Activities:
1. The department provides state
of the art neonatal and pediatric surgical
facilities to the children of the state.
Referral from adjoining states of Bihar
and Madhya Pradesh, and adjoining countries
- Nepal and Bhutan are also admitted here.
|
| Special areas of interest are
congenital short colon, esophageal atresia,
tracheo-esophageal fistula, anorectal malformations,
ectopic ureter and exstrophy bladder. Recently
gastrointestinal endoscopy, bronchoscopy,
urological endoscopy and therapeutic procedures
have been started. The department has pioneered
a new, one step surgical procedure for exstrophy
bladder which can be performed in newborns.
2. Research areas include congenital malformations,
spina bifida, surgical nutrition, portal
hypertension and Hirschsprung's disease.
One research project underway.
3. More than 200 papers, posters, guest
lectures and orations in state level, national
and international conferences have been
presented. Additional academic contributions
include 18 papers in national and 21 in
international journals, 7 book chapters
and 4 review articles by different members
of the faculty.

Association of Pediatric Surgeons in 1995
and International Workshop on Anorectal
Malformations in 2003.
Facilities:
1. The department has a bed
strength of 32, including 8 neonatal intensive
care cots.
2. The department is equipped with incubators,
nebuliser, neonatal ventilator, heating
blankets and all gastrointestinal, urological
and airway endoscopes (flexible and rigid).
Output: The bed occupancy rate is 125%.
The annual OPD attendance is about 4500,
while inpatient admissions number about

International
Workshop on Exstrophy & Epispadias: This
workshop is being organised by the Department
from 10th - 12th February 2006. Exstrophy
bladder though uncommon, is a challenge in
pediatric surgery. Over the past few years,
advances have occurred in surgical treatment
with increasing tendency for single stage
repair of the entire anomaly. In western countries,
segregation of cases to specialised centres
occurs. Due to the rarity of the condition,
there have been few opportunities for observing
the correction of these anomaies in the hands
of experts.
The workshop will bring together a panel of
experts in the field who will demonstrate
the operative procedures in 6 sessions. Besides,
there will be lectures and symposis to cover
the entire topic from embryology to failed
repair. |
