dc.description.abstractBackground: To study the role of Laparoscopic surgery in Pediatric age group. Settings: Department of General and Minimal Access Surgery, Government Medical College Srinagar. Methods: Three hundred and sixty four pediatric patients referred to our tertiary care center in the pediatric age group were operated upon laparoscopically for various conditions from January 2009 to January 2019. Results: A total of 364 non-infantile pediatric cases were operated upon laparoscopically which included 107 Non-palpable UDT, 71 Appendectomies, 67 Diagnostic laparoscopies, 31 Cholecystectomies, 5 VATS procedures, 8 Varicocelectomies, 2 Advance urological procedures, 55 Herniotomies, 3 umbilical hernia laparoscopic anatomical repairs, 7 Hepatic Hydatid cyst surgeries, 5 Laparoscopic assisted Soaves procedures, 1 each of Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty, Morgagni hernia repair and Ladd’s procedure for Malrotation of Gut. There were 5 conversions to open procedure and 8 cases were completed by laparoscopic assisted methods. The complication rate including minor complications was approximately 4%. Conclusion: Laparoscopy including Videoassisted Thoracoscopic Surgeries (VATS) in pediatric age group is safe, feasible and rapidly gaining popularity even for advanced and reconstructive procedures. However the threshold for better judgement should be low for decreasing avoidable morbidity in small children.en_US
