Overview

As a clinical scientist, I focus on research with direct clinical relevance to my area of practice: pediatric surgery. I engage in systematic reviews of available evidence and perform high impact single or multi-institutional clinical trials concerning congenital or acquired surgical conditions in children. A secondary goal of my research is the support of family-centered care through the design and creation of new technology tools (Apps, websites) - as an example, see myfirstsurgery.com.

Advancing Surgical Care of the Neonate with Sacrococcygeal Teratoma: Evidence, Action, and Advocacy
Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a congenital disease whose treatment is dependent upon timely diagnosis, referral to an interdisciplinary pediatric surgical team within a tertiary setting, and complete surgical resection of the primary tumor and coccygectomy. Our international collaborators have observed that SCT is a rare diagnosis more commonly seen and surgically treated in Uganda than in Canada. This investigation involves a needs assessment on SCT followed by local capacity building, the creation of best care maps in low and high resource settings as well as the creation of an outcomes database.

An assessment of non-operative management strategies for gastrocutaneous fistulae
Gastrostomy tube placement is one of the most commonly performed procedures in pediatric surgery and serves as an important adjunct to the care of many vulnerable patients. Our group has recently demonstrated that the development of a persistent gastrocutaneous fistula (GCF) after gastrostomy removal complicates 33% of patients and traditionally requires a second operative intervention. This investigation is prospectively evaluating a regimen of nonoperative interventions designed to decrease the GCF rate.
