In 1998, Dr. Ricketts recruited Dr. Wulkan to become the director of pediatric laparoscopy at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. Dr. Wulkan initiated Egleston's Minimally Invasive Surgical Center in 2003, and since then the service has grown into one of the most high-volume pediatric minimally invasive programs in the country. He has also been involved in developing protocols for managing the possible negative aspects of inflating pediatric patients' abdomens with carbon dioxide so that there is room for surgeons to work laparoscopically. In 2007, he performed the first Lap-Band procedure to be done at Egleston to treat adolescent obesity.
