Specialization

In addition to the service of general pediatric surgery for part of the Prague districts, the department specializes in:

Neonatal surgery, thoracic surgery, proctology, oncosurgery, urology, polytrauma surgery. Every year, 3.000 pediatric patients are admitted to the clinic and 2.000 operations are performed. The clinic is the only workplace in the Czech Republic that has a separate department of neonatal surgery and annually operates around 100 surgically ill newborns. The clinic operates the vast majority of pediatric patients from the Czech Republic in the field of thoracic surgery (chest deformities, lung resection, esophageal atresia, mediastinal tumors). In the field of thoracic surgery, new surgical procedures were introduced using state-of-the-art instruments (thoracoscope and laser). Thanks to the cooperation with the Department of Pediatric Oncology, which concentrates the majority of pediatric patients with solid tumors from the Czech Republic, the workplace has gained experience in operations for solid tumors of the chest, abdomen and retroperitoneum. The workplace is the only one in the Czech Republic that deals with liver surgery in children. In the field of urology, the largest number of patients are children with congenital malformations of the urogenital tract, functional disorders of the bladder and obstructive uropathy. In cooperation with the First Children's Clinic, urologists are involved in kidney transplantation in children. Another specialization of the workplace is the surgical treatment of congenital intestinal aganglionosis (Hirschsprung's disease) and anorectal and cloacal malformations. Together with the Department of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation, the department focuses on the issue of severely polytraumatized children. Since 2006, we have been performing inverted chest corrections in suitable patients using the mini-invasive technique according to Nuss.

During operations, we use the most modern techniques - laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, laser, argon coagulation, ultrasonic tissue aspirator.

History



The Department of Pediatric Surgery has a tradition that dates back to the opening of the Czech Children's Hospital in 1902. The first head of pediatric surgery and orthopedics was MUDr. Vaclav Kafka the Elder (1869 - 1946).
He became the chief of pediatric surgery in 1903 and was continuously so for 36 years, i.e. until 1939. He tried to cultivate pediatric surgery to its full extent as was common in those years. At the same time, he also devoted himself to orthopedics. In 1939, Prof. MD Method Mikul (1885 – 1965).


Another advantage is prof. MUDr. Vaclav Kafka, DrSc. Jr. (1902 - 1991). During his tenure, the Faculty of Pediatrics was established in 1953, and the Department of Pediatric Surgery became the Clinic of Pediatric Surgery. Prof. Kafka focused mainly on pediatric urology and was at the birth of pediatric cardiac surgery. Thoracic surgery and abdominal surgery were developed at the clinic under his leadership.


In 1968, prof. Kafka retired and becomes headmaster prof. MUDr. Vaclav Tosovsky, DrSc. (1912-2007).
The main interest of prof. Tošovský's was pediatric bone traumatology, congenital defects of the gastrointestinal system and sudden abdominal events in childhood. At the same time, children with congenital hydrocephalus were treated at the clinic. During his tenure, the pediatric oncology department was separated from the pediatric surgery clinic, which later changed to the pediatric oncology clinic and under the leadership of Prof. MUDr. Josef Koutecký, DrSc. has become one of the largest pediatric oncology clinics in Europe. Furthermore, the department of pediatric neurosurgery became independent under the leadership of Prof. MUDr. Vladimír Beneš, DrSc. and in 1978, a cardio center was established, the surgical part of which was transferred from the Department of Pediatric Surgery under the leadership of Prof. MUDr. Bohumil Hučín, DrSc.


From 1979 to 1990 he was the head of the Department of Pediatric Surgery prof. MUDr. Miroslav Kabelka, DrSc. (1924 - 1995).

After returning from a long stay in the USA, Prof. Kabelka introduced modern methods in pediatric surgery, especially in neonatal surgery and during his
operation, the first independent department of neonatal surgery was established in what was then Czechoslovakia. He further developed thoracic surgery, especially esophageal surgery, and introduced a new surgical procedure in the treatment of intestinal aganglionosis.



From 1990 to 2016, she was the head of the Pediatric Surgery Clinic prof. MD Jiří Šnajdauf, DrSc. (born 1949).
Currently, the clinic specializes in newborn surgery, congenital developmental defects of the gastrointestinal tract, the issue of chest wall deformity, thoracic surgery including minimally invasive surgery, surgery of the liver, bile ducts and pancreas, anorectal malformations, tumors of the liver, kidneys, retroperitoneum and the issue of lung metastases, pediatric urology and polytrauma.

Prof. Schneider ran the clinic for more than 26 years. At the end of 2016, the management of the clinic will be handed over to its successor. At the same time, his long-time medical representative, Prim. Richard Fryč, left the position and clinic, who joined the clinic as a graduate and was mayor for 21 years. Before him, the medical deputy was Prof. Šnajdauf, Prim. Božena Šintáková, later the deputy director of the hospital. Her predecessor was Prim. Ludmila le Breux.

Prof. Šnajdauf also remained at the clinic as a consultant.



Prof. Michal Rygl, MD, PhD. Head since 2017, graduated in 1989 from FDL UK
(today 2nd LF UK). He joined KDCH in 1995. It focuses on the treatment of congenital defects and diseases of the esophagus and pancreaticobiliary surgery. It deals with operatively premature babies. His scientific activity is connected with numerous publications in Czech and foreign literature and with lectures at domestic and foreign congresses.

In 2016, he was appointed professor of pediatric surgery.
