Minimally Invasive

We are the region’s leader in developing and performing innovative, minimally invasive pediatric surgery. Minimally invasive techniques such as using small cameras and instruments through tiny incisions (less than 5 mm) leads to faster recovery and healing times, less pain and lower rates of infection.
