Dr. Wulkan was recruited in 1998 to both enhance the minimally invasive skills of other surgeons in the Division of Pediatric Surgery and to direct pediatric laparoscopy at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. He had gained extensive minimally invasive surgery experience during his general surgery residency at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and had trained with Dr. Keith Georgeson, one of the pioneers of pediatric minimally invasive surgery, during his pediatric surgery residency at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. In 2003 Dr. Wulkan initiated the Minimally Invasive Surgical Center at Chidren's and has overseen its growth into one of the most high-volume pediatric minimally invasive programs in the country. He performed the first Lap-Band procedure to be done at Children's to treat adolescent obesity in 2007, was one of the first surgeons in Georgia to perform single-site incision surgery on pediatric patients for routine surgeries in 2009, and performed the first laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for adolescent obesity to be done in the Southeast in 2010.
