PAEDIATRIC SURGERY

Speciality's description

作為小兒外科醫生，我負責通過手術治療患有簡單和復雜小兒外科疾病的兒童，但不包括涉及大腦、心臟和骨骼的疾病。

我為新生兒到 18 歲的兒童提供諮詢。此外，我還為在產前期間診斷出有手術問題的胎兒提供產前諮詢，讓父母為出生後可能需要手術的新生兒做好準備。

我接受過常規和微創手術執行的培訓。常規手術(也稱為
大手術),涉及大切口。相反的,微創手術涉及較小的切口，可以分為腹腔鏡檢查（針對腹部疾病）、胸腔鏡檢查（針對胸部疾病）或膀胱鏡檢查（針對膀胱疾病）。鑑於微創手術的優勢，大約 90% 的手術我是通過這種方法進行。在不適合進行微創手術的情況下，如比較複雜的病情，或者是由於潛在條件不允許這種手術執行的患者（例如需要進行手術的患者呈陽性冠狀病毒檢測），都會進行常規手術。

As paediatric surgeon, I am treating children with simple and complex paediatric surgical conditions but excluding conditions involving the brain, heart and bones.

I am consulting for children from newborn up to 18 years old. In addition, I do provide antenatal counselling for surgical conditions diagnosed during the antenatal period, to prepare the parents in anticipation of the newborn who may require surgery after birth.

I am trained to perform all procedures by both conventional and minimally invasive approaches. In conventional surgery, it is an open procedure and involves large incision. On the contrary, in minimally invasive surgery, it involves smaller incisions, and is called laparoscopy (for abdominal conditions), thoracoscopy (for thoracic conditions) or cystoscopy (for urinary bladder conditions). In view of the advantages offered by minimally invasive surgery, I do perform 90% of my operations via this approach. In cases deemed not suitable for the minimally invasive approach, either by the complexity of the condition or patient with underlying condition not allowing this approach like Covid-positive patient requiring surgery, then conventional surgery is being performed.

He spent 2012-2013 at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Adelaide, Australia to excel and consolidate his skills in paediatric minimally invasive surgery (i.e. laparoscopy and thoracoscopy). He was conferred his Ph.D. in 2013 on his research works in the roles of nuclear transit scintigraphy (gastrointestinal transit studies) and electrical stimulation therapy in managing children with intractable chronic constipation. He is trained in bowel rehabilitation and neuromodulation in treating intractable chronic constipation in children using interferential current and is one of the leading world expert in this field. He is also a trained and qualified Paediatric Liver Transplant Surgeon after he completed his attachment with the elite liver transplant team in Renji Hospital, Shanghai in July 2019.

In addition to conventional and simple neonatal and paediatric surgical procedures (e.g. hernia, hydrocele and undescended testis and etc), Dr. Yik is capable in performing both simple and complex neonatal and paediatric surgical procedures by minimally invasive approaches (i.e. laparoscopy and thoracoscopy). Common laparoscopic procedures performed are for conditions like hernia/ hydrocele, appendicitis, pyloric stenosis, malrotation of midgut, Hirschsprung disease, anorectal malformation, pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction. He has also performed many thoracoscopic procedures for conditions like empyema thoracis, diaphragmatic hernia/ eventration, congenital pulmonary airway malformation, lung sequestration, oesophageal atresia and trachea-esophageal fistula. He is the only Paediatric Surgeon experienced in doing 3D paediatric endoscopic surgeries in Malaysia with more than 150 cases performed successfully.

Other than clinical works, Dr. Yik has contributed to the training of many young paediatric surgeons for Malaysia during his years serving University of Malaya as an academic staff.
