Paediatric Surgery Update

Brendon Bowkett FRACS

This page introduces myself as a paediatric surgeon and paediatric urologist. I have been in the Wellington region for 6 years and in Australia prior to this.

Please search this page to learn a little more about paediatric surgery including some of the most recent technical developments in the field now available to Wellington children. Also take a glance at some of the clinical updates in paediatric surgery for GPs. The links page provides a comprehensive guide to many local and international quality resourse pages.

I have had comprehensive multicentre overseas training in both general paediatric surgery and paediatric urology and possess a paediatric surgical fellowship with the Royal Australian College of Surgeons. Combined training in both general and urological surgery provides excellent coverage for surgical conditions as many children have combined problems.

I also contribute to the Royal Australian collage of Surgeons development programme in East Timor funded by AUSAID Australia

I am a senior clinical lecturer in Paediatric Surgery at Otago University based at the Wellington Clinical School of Medicine
