Podcasts about paediatric surgery

Over 130 children to date have had surgery at University Hospital Limerick (UHL) under a new national model of care for general paediatric surgery, improving access for children and families and bringing surgical care as close to home as possible. This update was heard at the annual Sylvester O'Halloran Perioperative Symposium at UHL, which was attended by over 500 people. Prof Tara Connelly, Consultant General Surgeon with a special interest in Paediatric Surgery, updated attendees at the Symposium on the development of UHL as a regional paediatric surgical centre under the new HSE model of care launched in the Royal College of Surgeons in September 2024. To discuss this in more detail, Alan Morrissey was joined by Consultant General Surgeon with a special interest in Paediatric Surgery, Prof Tara Connelly. Photo (c) Alan Place

We speak with Dr Kirk Milhoan - a specialist in Paediatric Cardiology & Dr John Kupferschmid - a specialist in Paediatric Cardiology, Paediatric Surgery and Thoracic Surgery. They are two US-based medical professionals with a wealth of experience. They give their expert opinion on Baby Will's case, based on the pertinent information they received and observed. Crucially, they highlight the importance of finding a middle ground that works for all parties involved, especially in a situation of high stress and tension for a mother and child. This interview was presented last night as an important second medical opinion, differing from the Starship doctors' view that Baby Will was in need of urgent and immediate surgery. The two US specialists strongly maintained that while he required an operation on his heart, he would be within the margin of safety to wait up to three weeks, after Christmas. Starship said he needed an operation within days; these highly experienced American specialists said it was clear to them that it could be done within weeks. 
They felt the more important factor for success was for the mother and baby to have time to relax and calm from all the stress in Starship and to go into the operation in a state that would ensure Baby Will's rapid and healthy recovery from such a major piece of surgery. Their conclusions were drawn from an in-depth study of Baby Will's medical records, and records of his vitals, as well as an extended visual analysis of him over a video call. They did say they still needed to see the Echo (Echocardiogram) but they were both separately satisfied that Baby Will fell into the "Less Urgent" category of the thousands of pediatric heart patients they have served. Judge Ian Gault rejected this, and instead added an extra permission, in an urgent judicial sitting that went late into the night, giving the state-appointed guardian, the Starship doctors, the right to use police enforcement on this family and around this 4-month-old heart baby.

Welcome to Episode 12! In this week's “Coffee with consultants” feature, we're going off-brand a bit and interviewing a registrar in our featured specialty. Nonetheless, this week's episode features a specialty that so many of you have requested that I simply could not wait! And so, I'm very pleased to introduce this week's episode, which is all about the path to specialising in paediatric surgery. Dr Jason Mcmaster is currently a registrar in paediatric surgery at the Nelson Mandela Children's Hospital in South Africa. After completing internship and community service, Dr Mcmaster held a medical officer post in the paediatric burns unit at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, where he discovered his calling and passion. It was a great privilege to interview Dr McMaster for this podcast, and I'm sure you'll find the interview extremely interesting. Whether you've had any exposure to paediatric surgery or not, it should please you to know that the training available in South Africa in paediatric surgery is excellent and compares favourably with high-income countries, who often send their surgeons to South Africa to further their skills. Listening to Dr Mcmaster, it was encouraging and motivating to learn just how highly esteemed the South African clinical setting is. We would do well to appreciate the opportunities we get as junior doctors and medical students, even amongst the challenges.

Mapping earthquakes with localised EDGE computing Observing natural phenomena like earthquakes and volcanoes relies on data from the earth’s satellite network. As the volume of this satellite data grows it becomes harder for scientists to get it back to Earth. EDGE computing offers a solution. The opposite of cloud computing, it keeps data near the source by processing it on-site and only sending back relevant or interesting information.

Read Full Transcript [00:00:00] Hello and welcome to discover pediatric surgery a podcast for childhood surgeons if like me, you spend a large portion of each day commuting eventually get to the point. When you crave the possibility of constructive time utilization on these Journeys. Don't get me wrong. I love listening to music and catching up with the news but I find more and more. I'm just starved of time to develop as an individual. And improve my skill set. I am a paediatric surgeon and there's an all fields of medicine. The pace of advancement is overwhelming perhaps even more so in the newer specialities such as pediatric surgery. I work in academic environment and I notice more and more that our trainees in to struggle with the crazy workload often having no time for learning with the never ending demand of an overburdened service. Being from South Africa. We are abruptly aware but human resource material scarcity in both our local environment and the [00:01:00] country's north of our borders. Although pediatric surgeons are in short supply in South Africa, we find ourselves still in the luxurious situation compared to the all too common areas in which general adult surgeons become the sole operator on neonates and children in many countries and most of the time without any formal paediatric surgical training. In South Africa, we are just over 30 practicing paediatric surgeons for a population of 57 million even just half a surgeon per million population in comparison to England who has 30 surgeons per million population. However, we are still well off compared to many other African countries who don't have any pediatric surgeons whatsoever. In low and middle income countries estimated that five billion people were surgical disease do not have any access to surgical care and more than half of these are children. I also find that staggering to appreciate that in low and middle income countries 85% of children will have a surgically treatable condition by the time they are 15 years old and yet most of these won't have any access to a [00:02:00] paediatric surgeon. Paediatric surgical trainees go through a rigorous training schedule with a minimum requirement in some countries are between 13 and 17 years. Paediatric surgeons acquire the knowledge of a whole Gambit of congenital anomalies requiring surgical correction as well as many acquired lesions. Traumatic injuries arrive in low-income countries and across special consideration, especially with the childhood standard of care is completely different to that of the adult counterparts in the same situation. With all these thoughts in mind. My aim is to provide informative podcasts providing an overview of Core Concepts and pediatric surgical care. My name is Andrew Grieve and I look forward to being your host in this journey on discovering paediatric surgery.

Neonatal care has improved greatly in recent years. As an unintended consequence of these advances, more babies born with malformations such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) survive and with more severe malformations than in the past. Dr. Pramod Puligandla discusses a new clinical practice guideline on diagnosis and management of CDH. Dr. Puligandla is a Professor of Paediatric Surgery, Paediatrics and Surgery at McGill University, Faculty of Medicine in Montreal, Quebec. He was also the project lead for the guideline working group. The guideline was developed by the Canadian Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Collaborative.

In this episode, we'll cover the surgeon often referred to as the father of paediatric surgery, Dr. William Edwards Ladd. He has a famous connection to the Halifax Explosion, a tragic accident that occurred almost exactly 100 years ago. We'll explore that connection, and cover Ladd's work in developing the field of paediatric surgery, as well as review the eponymously named Ladd's bands and Ladd's procedure.

Paul Tam discusses the two-part Series about Paediatric Surgery, focusing on developments in paediatric urology and gastroenterology.

Paul Johnson (Professor of Paediatric Surgery) gives a talk on a new treatement for Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disease where the patient’s body has attacked its own insulin-producing cells. It largely starts in childhood and is treated with insulin injections. An alternative approach is transplant – either of the whole pancreas, a major operation, or the much less invasive transplantation of islet cells (the islets of Langerhans). This talk discusses the development of this treatment and its future potential.

Professor George Youngson CBE discusses the non-technical skills (cognitive and social) that surgeons need in order to perform safely in the operating theatre. Professor Youngson is Emeritus Professor of Paediatric Surgery at the University of Aberdeen.
