The 51st Annual Conference of the Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons (IAPSCON) recently convened in Odisha, celebrating the organization's 60th anniversary.

This accolade acknowledges her substantial contributions, including groundbreaking research and exemplary mentorship within the field of pediatric surgery.

Dr. Menon's oration focused on pelvic ureteric junction obstruction, a common urological issue in children.
