The Surgical Technology International will hold a live lecture titled "Minimally Invasive Surgical Diagnosis and Treatment of Gastrointestinal Malformations in Infants and Young Children" on Bilibili and the WeChat Channels platform at 20:00 on September 21, 2026 (GMT+08:00).

Gastrointestinal malformations in infants and young children present complex clinical challenges. Due to the delicate nature of developing organs and the need to minimize surgical trauma, the appropriate application of minimally invasive techniques plays an important role in improving surgical outcomes and patient prognosis. Common congenital gastrointestinal conditions, including esophageal atresia, congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, intestinal malrotation, annular pancreas, intestinal atresia, and choledochal cysts, require accurate diagnosis, appropriate surgical indications, and careful perioperative management.

This lecture will focus on the minimally invasive surgical management of gastrointestinal malformations in infants and young children. It will provide a systematic overview of the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to common congenital gastrointestinal conditions, highlighting key clinical considerations, surgical indications, and perioperative management strategies. Particular attention will be given to the practical application of laparoscopic and da Vinci robotic-assisted surgical techniques, including their technical advantages, operative challenges, key procedural considerations, and clinical precautions. Through a discussion of these techniques and their clinical applications, the lecture aims to provide practical insights into optimizing surgical management and improving outcomes in pediatric patients.

We are honored to have Dr. Shungen Huang, MD, PhD, Chief Physician, Associate Professor, and Doctoral Supervisor, Director of the Department of General Surgery and Chief of Pediatric General Surgery at Children's Hospital of Soochow University, as the speaker. We sincerely welcome scholars and researchers to join this academic livestream lecture.
