It features a single small wound hidden in the umbilicus in contrast to several wounds over abdominal wall in standard laparoscopic surgery. The Division of Paediatric Surgery and Paediatric Urology has recently developed a unique technique of performing SILS on children. The new technique involves crossing two straight conventional laparoscopic instruments through a single incision to operate. Since October 2009, over 30 children aged three to 15 have successfully undergone SILS, from simple procedures such as appendectomy to complex ones like splenectomy and nephrectomy. In May 2010, the division successfully performed the world’s first single incision laparoscopic heminephroureterectomy on a child. With the great success of the innovative technique, the division has taken a leading role in pioneering single incision laparoscopic surgery in children. manage various teaching and learning information on one single platform rather than through multiple systems. For instance, teaching staff can search their class rosters and obtain real-time student information online, send mass email to the whole class or individual students via the class rosters provided by CUSIS.
