Another Milestone in Clinical Excellence at Prince Court
Prince Court Medical Centre has reached a new benchmark in paediatric surgical care with the successful completion of a uniportal, gasless Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) Thymectomy on a 5-year-old child — the youngest known case in Malaysia for this procedure in a patient with Myasthenia Gravis.
The young patient was initially diagnosed with Ocular Myasthenia Gravis by Consultant Paediatrician Dr. Mohd Feizel Al Siddiq. After four months of limited response to medical therapy, surgery was recommended as the next step in care.
Despite the complexity due to the patient’s age, the surgery was performed successfully by Dr. Syariz Izry Sehat, Consultant Paediatric Surgeon, and Dr. George John, Consultant General and Thoracic Surgeon, using a minimally invasive, gasless uniportal VATS technique.
Today, the patient is showing strong signs of recovery and continues to improve post-operatively.
This case underscores Prince Court’s unwavering commitment to clinical excellence, innovation, and patient-first care — even in the most challenging circumstances.
