Paediatric surgeons in Malaysia manage neonatal and paediatric surgical conditions from the newborn period to the age of twelve years. For some clinical conditions, management continues until adolescence. The scope of practice encompasses disorders involving the gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, thoracic, urological, vascular, and endocrine systems, and the oncological conditions related to these systems. Burns, polytrauma and transplant surgery may also require the expertise of paediatric surgeons. The ultimate objective of the Paediatric Surgeon is to facilitate a full and healthy life for their patients.
The Master of Paediatric Surgery programme is available to prospective trainees after a minimum of two years in clinical practice following their basic medical degree. The programme duration is a minimum of four years and additionally provides the basis for further sub-specialisation in areas such as urology, complex minimally invasive surgery, oncology, trauma surgery and organ transplantation surgery.
