Dr Merrill McHoney

I trained in many paediatric surgical tertiary and quaternary centres (Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in London, John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford, and Royal Hospital for Sick Children Edinburgh. I have experience in complex laparoscopic cases and have written chapters on laparoscopic conditions in several books. I have several peer-reviewed publications in literature, and have led the production of, and edited, 'Colour Atlas of Paediatric Laparoscopic and Thoracoscopic Surgery' (Published in 2017). I have been a contributor to and section editor of ‘Paediatric Surgery: A Comprehensive Text for Africa’.

My interests in thoracic (lung and chest wall) and oncology surgery, my desire to develop further expertise, work alongside a team of peers, and deliver a recognised service within the organisation where I work, is an exciting prospect. I developed an interest in minimally invasive surgery in children early in my paediatric surgical training. I rotated through 2 laparoscopic fellowships. I led a research project in laparoscopic surgery. This led to the first randomised controlled trial in laparoscopy in children and my PhD entitled 'The metabolic and inflammatory response to laparoscopy in children'.

I have experience in laparoscopic management of complex gastrointestinal cases and have several chapters on laparoscopic conditions (e.g. fundoplication, thoracoscopic repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, OA and TOF) in several books.
